The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, "It was
a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket
theater seats. It worked. The front of the church fills first."
The young priest nodded.
The old one said, "And you told me 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. We are packed to
the balcony."
"Thank you, Father," said the young priest. "I am pleased you are
open to the new ideas of youth."
"Well," said the elderly priest, "I'm afraid you've gone too far
with the drive-thru Confessional."
"But Father," said the young priest. "My confessions have nearly
doubled since I began that!"
"I know, my son," said the old man. "But that flashing neon sign,
'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell," can't stay on the church roof!"
