    With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is
    worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went
    unnoticed last week. Larry La Pries, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey"
    died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family
    was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in, and then the
    trouble started...

    During a Papal audience, a businessman approached the Pope and made this offer: Change the last line of the Lord's Prayer from "Give us this day our daily bread" to "Give us this day our daily chicken," and Kentucky Fried Chicken will donate $10,000,000 to Catholic charities. The Pope declined. Two weeks later, the man approached the Pope again, this time with a $50,000,000 offer. Again, the Pope declined. A month later, the man upped the price to $100,000,000, and this time the Pope accepted. At a meeting of the Cardinals, the Pope announced his decision in the good news/bad news format. "The good news is: We have $100,000,000 for charities. The bad news: We lost the Wonder Bread account."
