An American makes a proposal to the Vatican: he offers a hundred million
dollars in exchange for the changing of one word in the Bible. He will
only reveal what the word is when meeting with the Pope himself.
The Curia is doubtful, but the money would certainly be useful. An
audience is arranged, but it doesn't last long.
"What did you propose?" the puzzled cardinals ask the American.
"Only that 'Amen' should be replaced by 'Texas Oil'."

"How did the poet Mayakovsky die?"
"Suicide."
"What were his last words?"
"Don't shoot, comrades!"
