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 like a charm. The front of the church fills first.

The young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, "And you
told me a little more beat to the music would bring young people back to
church, so I suppose you brought in that rock 'n roll gospel choir. We are
packed in to the balcony."

"Thank you, Father," answered the young priest. "I am pleased that
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," protested the young priest, "my confessions have
nearly doubled since I began that!"

"I know, son," replied the elderly priest, "but the flashing neon
sign, 'Toot n'Tell or Go To Hell' can't stay."
