The Pope was seeking to do another world tour before he died and advertised that he needed sponsorship.
A representative for KFC approached him and offered him $1m for it. However, he said to the pontiff "If you have us as your support, could you give us a plug? When you recite the Lord's prayer, instead of saying 'give us this day our daily bread, could you change it to 'give us this day our daily chicken?' The Pope said "God forbid it son, no way! Sorry!"
The rep called him back the next week, as the Pope still couldn't find any support so he said 'If we offered you $5m as tour support, would you change the words of the Lords Prayer?' The Pope thought it through and said "Ah, no, I don't think so! Try again another day!"
The rep tried again the next week, as the Pope still couldn't get anyone to sponsor the tour. He called him up and said "OK, for $10m if you were to change the words of the Lords Prayer, would you do it?" The Pope thought for a minute and said 'Well, I'd better speak to my accountant about it'.
He got on the phone to the bean-counter and said 'Harry, do you want the good news or the bad news?' Harry asked. "What's the good news?" The Pope said "KFC is sponsoring the tour for $10m" Harry then asked 'Well, what's the bad news?' The Pope replied 'We'll have to cancel the proposed $9m deal with Tip Top bakeries!"
