speaking to the

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. Now, 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!"

neon sign, "Toot 'n Tell or Go To Hell", just can't stay on the
Church
roof!!!
