THE POPE AND AN ADVERT
A tea manufacturer wanted a new advertising gimmick, so the senior creative man at the advertising agency decided to go to Rome to see if he could persuade the Pope to make a TV commercial.
We'll give you one hundred thousand pounds for a ten second commercial, the ad man told the pontiff. All you have say is: Give us this day our daily tea.
I'm sorry, replied the Pope, but I cant do that.
Five hundred thousand, offered the ad man.
I'm afraid not, said the Pope, solemnly.
All right. One million pounds. And thats our very last offer.
But still the Pope refused. On his way back, the disappointed ad man turned to his secretary and said: It's odd that the Pope refused to do a commercial for tea.
I wonder how much the bread people are giving him.
