This was the last joke told by my great grandfather before he died.
Two Jewish brothers who owned a very successful bakery, Rosen's, went to see the Pope.
They got through to his chamber, and the Pope asked what he could do for them. They said, "We have an offer for you. We will pay you 1 million dollars if you change two words of the Lord's prayer."
The Pope replied that he could not do that.
The brothers offered 5 million dollars.
The Pope said that he still could not do that.
The brothers made their final offer - 10 million dollars.
The Pope, exasperated at this point tells them that he does not have the authority to change the Lord's prayer.
The brothers seem to understand, and so begin to leave. Before they exit, though, the Pope calls out to them.
"Just out of curiosity, what two words did you want to change?"
"We just wanted you to change 'daily bread' to 'Rosen's rye'."
