HOLY CASINO
This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas
but there are more Catholic churches
there than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday
services will give casino chips
rather than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips
from so many different casinos,
the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The
churches send all 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 a chip monk.
