In a church garden, a priest is walking with a wealthy businessman, while a curious young parishioner follows behind.
The businessman gets straight to the point:
– $50,000.
– No.
– $100,000?
The priest shakes his head again.
– $500,000. Final offer.
The priest pauses for a few seconds… then still refuses.
The businessman shrugs and walks away.
The young parishioner quickly runs up:
– Father, that’s half a million dollars! Why did you turn it down?
The priest sighs:
– Because he didn’t want to donate…
– Then what did he want?
– Just one small thing.
– What is it?
The priest looks at him:
– After every sermon… instead of saying “Amen”…
– Then what?
– …we would say “Koka-Koola.”
The young man goes silent for a moment… then asks:
– But… it’s just one word, right?
The priest nods:
– Yes.
– Today it’s one word…
– Tomorrow, a few more lines…
He shrugs:
– And next week, we’ll probably be asking:
“Would you like to upsize that?”
“Faith is free…
But apparently, the advertising wants to sponsor the whole program.”
