The Sign



The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, 'It was a

good idea to replace the first four rows of pews with plush bucket

theater seats. It worked like a charm. The front of the church always

fills first now.



The young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, 'And you told

me a little more beat to the music would bring young people back to the

church, so I supported you when you brought in that rock 'n roll gospel

choir. We are packed to the balcony!!'




'Thank you, Father,' answered the young priest. 'I am pleased that you

are open to the new ideas of youth.'




'However,' said the elderly priest, 'I'm afraid you've gone too far

with the drive-thru confessional.'



'But, Father, protested the young priest, 'my confessions and the

donations have nearly doubled since I began that!'



'I know, son, but that flashing neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go to

Hell,' just can't stay on the church roof.'

 

Good one.
