Greetings,

	Here's some jokes someone sent me. Enjoy it!


Contractors
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three construction contractors died and went to heaven - a Black, a Jew,
and an Italian. When they got there St. Peter welcomed them warmly and
asked if they could do him a favor before they entered heaven. It seems
that the Pearly gates were in need of some repair, and he wanted some
estimates. 

The Black contractor looked the job over carefully and estimated the job
at $600. When asked how he came up with that figure, he said, "$200
materials, $200 labor, and $200 profit." 

St. Peter then asked the Jewish contractor for an estimate. After
careful inspection the Jew answered, "$3000 - $1000 materials, $1000
labor, and $1000 profit." 

When St. Peter ask the Italian for an estimate, he answered immediately
without looking over the job at all - $2600. Asked how he came up with
that figure he answered, "Simple, $1000 for you, $1000 for me, and $600
to get the low bidder over there to do the work." 

Chicken
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems that Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame was exploring
new ways to advertise. He spent several days thinking on the problem and
come up with an idea. Leaning over to his phone, he called the Vatican
City and asked to speak to the Pope, indicating that he would like to
make a sizable donation. 

"Hello, my son?" 

"Hello, your Grace, I am calling because I would like to make a sizable
donation to the Roman Catholic Church." 

"How nice! Why don't you send it in the mail? 

"Would you like me to send one hundred million dollars in the mail?" 

"One hundred million dollars! Bless you, my son. Why no, of course. My
representative can visit you at your convenience!" 

"But there is one little string attached..." 

"Oh?" 

"You know that part in the Lord's Prayer where you say 'Give us this day
our daily bread'? I'd like that changed to 'Give us this day our daily
chicken'." 

"Oh, I see..." 

The Pope covers the microphone and yells to the Cardinal attending him,
"How long do we still have on that Wonder Bread Contract?"
