The elderly priest sat down one day to review the state of the parish with the newly assigned younger priest. The elderly priest said, "You had a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats. It works like a charm. The front of the church always fills first now."
The older cleric 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."
The young priest answered, "Thank you, father. I am pleased that you are open to the new ideas of youth."
The elderly priest continued, "All of these ideas have been well and good. 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, "you are correct. But the flashing neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell' cannot stay on the church roof!"
Thanks to Kevin Svec for this week's Friday Funny.
