Converting for $500

church. A sign on the church says "Convert with us, and we

pay you $500."

One of the guys says to his friend, "I could sure use the

money. I'll go for it."

His friend declines, and goes off.

The first guy sees the priest and asks about this offer.

"Yes," the priest says, "Take our conversion classes. At the

end of the classes, you convert, and we pay you $500."

The Jewish guy agrees, goes through the process, and gets

his $500.

Weeks later, he sees his old buddy. "How're you doing?" asks

his friend. "Did you convert?"

"Yes, yes," says the converted Jew.

"And? Did you get your five hundred dollars?"

The converted Jew stares at his old friend. "Money, money,

money," he sneers, "is that all you people think about?"
