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!"
