LAS VEGAS CHURCHES ACCEPT GAMBLING CHIPS!

I TRULY DID NOT KNOW THIS!

THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO THOSE OF YOU NOT LIVING IN LAS VEGAS , BUT THERE ARE MORE CATHOLIC CHURCHES THAN CASINOS.

NOT SURPRISINGLY, SOME WORSHIPERS AT SUNDAY SERVICES WILL GIVE CASINO CHIPS RATHER THAN CASH WHEN THE BASKET IS PASSED.

SINCE THEY GET CHIPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT CASINOS, THE CHURCHES HAVE DEVISED A METHOD TO COLLECT THE OFFERINGS..

THE CHURCHES SEND ALL THEIR COLLECTED CHIPS TO A NEARBY FRANCISCAN MONASTERY FOR SORTING AND THEN THE CHIPS ARE TAKEN TO THE CASINOS OF ORIGIN AND CASHED IN.

THIS IS DONE BY THE CHIP MONKS.




YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT COMING DID YOU?

No, Doug. I did not see this one coming.

    "Are you the friar?" "No, I'm the chip monk." Old English monastery kitchen joke.

    W verification "motion". Finally a real word.

    I guess not, Lapin. But, if you read the sentence with the proper mindset, you can make it work. ;-)

    The test is not whether one makes mistakes, because everyone does, but how one recovers from mistakes.

    Then, the apostrophe virus must be going around again.

    No, no, no, no, no, no.

    Here's how the joke's s'posed to go:

    A Benedictine and a Franciscan went into business together, and started a Fish&Chips stand: "The Fish Friar and the Chip Monk." [rim-shot!]

    [Heard at an ecumenical conference 20+ years ago. The joke-teller was an Anglican (English) Franciscan.]

    wv, "folepir": I swear, that sounds like something one might hear "down on the Bayou"!
