SO, the marketing manager from Nescafe turns up at the Vatican and asks the Pope how much it would cost to change a line in the Lord's Prayer from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily coffee"?
After initial bids of £10million and £20million are turned down, the Nescafe man makes the Pope one final offer of £50million.
It's a sum of money the Pope simply can't refuse and he gathers all the Cardinals to tell them he's got some good news and bad news.
"The good news is I've just secured a £50million investment from Nescafe," says the Pope.
"And what's the bad news?" asks one of the Cardinals.
"I've had to cancel our contract with Mother's Pride..."
Staying with religion, the church congregation is gathered one morning when Satan suddenly appears in a puff of red smoke.
Terrified, all the worshippers start screaming and run for the doors. Apart from one wee man who stays in his seat right down the front of the church.
The Devil looks at him and says: "Aren't you scared of Satan?"
"No," he replies. "I've been married to your sister for 23 years..."
