The tea manufacturers wanted a new advertising gimmick, so the senior creative man at their advertising agency decided to go to Rome to see if he could persuade the Pope to make a TV commercial.
The Pope gave the adman an audience and he made his request."We'll give you fifty thousand pounds for a ten second commercial.All you have to do is say:"Give us this day our daily tea".
"I'm sorry,"replied the Pope,"but I cannot do as you request."
"Seventy thousand,"offered the adman.
"I'm afraid not,"said the Pope,solemnly.
"All right.A hundred thousand.And that's our very last offer."
But still the Pope refused to make the commercial and the adman left.On the way home the adman turned to his secretary and said:"That's odd.I mean, the Pope refusing to do a commercial for tea.I wonder how much the bread people are giving him."
