The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, ''You had a
good idea to replace the first four 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 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 the 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!"
