tithing your gambling winnings...

This may come as a surprise to those of you not living
in Las Vegas, but there are more Catholic churches
than casinos; and not surprisingly, some worshippers
at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than
cash when the basket is passed. As they originate from
so many different casinos, the churches have devised a
clever method to collect the offerings.
They 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.
Of course -- this is done by "chip monks..."
