How about a laugh, (hopefully)

Did You Know...

In Las Vegas there are more Catholic Churches than casinos. Not surprisingly some worshipers at Sunday services 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 of 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.

Hi John,
Did you know...
that the Franciscans were founded by St. Francis of Assisi? He's the "Brother Sun" guy who preached to birds and animals (maybe a kook, but definitely a saint), and tried to reform monastic life.
So, having the Franciscans be the "chip monks" makes this joke absolutely hysterical!
Man, some small details can really add to a story.
Thanks, again!
