Old priest to young priest.
The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest said, "You had a good idea to replace the first
four pews with plush bucket theatre seats. It worked like a charm. The front of the church
always fills first now."
The young priest nodded.
The old priest continued, "And you told me adding a little more beat to the music would bring
young people back to church, so I supported you when you brought in that Rock 'n Roll Gospel
Choir. Now our services are consistently packed to the balcony."
"Thank you, Father." answered the young priest. "I am pleased that you are open to the new
ideas of youth."
"All of these ideas have been well and good," said the elderly priest, "but I'm afraid you've
gone too far with this drive-thru confessional."
"But Father," protested the young priest, "my confessions and the donations have nearly
doubled since I began that!"
"Yes," replied the elderly priest, "and I appreciate that, but the flashing neon sign
'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell' cannot stay on the church roof!"
