Not surprisingly, during the Offertory at Sunday Mass some members of the congregation put casino chips rather than cash or a check in the collection basket.
Since the churches end up with chips from many different casinos, the offerings are collected by Parish and forwarded to a nearby Franciscan monastery, where they are sorted by casino so they can be cashed in.
The Brothers assigned to this duty are of course known as 'chip monks'. :rofl:
