In with the new, out with the old

Your job has plusses and minusses like any job. You have to wear a big white dress and meet regularly with a bunch of old crusty dudes that ended up where thay are because they had no pull with the ladies. You have to do a lot of public relations and when you do there's a big stupid hat to wear. At first, it was cool to have your picture in all the various newspapers and magazines thoughtout the world but now even that has gotten old. Yet, you have met with some pretty cool dudes like Bono from U2, and all kinds of celebrities. "Yeah", You think, "I guess bein the Pope aint so bad." One day it occurs to you that the cross is an outdated capital puishment/torture device. You wonder what kind of message this is sending to the world. "No wonder membership is down" you conclude. You decide that it's time for a change. "Hmm, why not update the symbol of Christianity?" you slip into daydream mode considering the noose, the firing range, death by injection but they all lack the pizazz that you are looking for. You need something that Madonna will wear around her neck. Like all great ideas this one comes to you out of nowhere like lightening in the sky on a clear blue day.[drum roll] The new symbol for the Roman Catholic church will be the electric chair. It even has a built in crown.
