the K500 and the K50 000

A torn K50, 000 note and a similarly worn out K500 note arrived at the Bank of Zambia to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burnt, they struck up a conversation. The K50, 000 note began to reminisce about its travels all over the country.
“I’ve had a pretty good life,” the K50, 000 proclaimed. “I’ve been to State House, Manda Hill, Garden’s cockpit, Times Cafe, Barclays Sports Complex, and Chez’ Ntemba, all manner of Cock tails, Arcades Complex, the finest restaurants and night clubs, you name it, I have been there. I have also been to the finest entertainment centers and hottest night clubs all over the country and even a cruise on the Lake Tanganyika and Siavonga.”
“Wow!” said the K500. You’ve really had an exciting life!”
“So tell me,” says the K50, 000, “where have you been throughout your lifetime?”
The K500 replies,
“Oh, I’ve been to the New Apostolic & Methodist Church, the Redeemed Christian Church, the AFM Church , the Deeper Life Bible Church , Bread of Life Church, Grace Ministries, Catholic Church, Winners’ Chapel, Miracle Life Family church, Anglican & Baptist Church, the C & S Church, CCC, ZAOGA,CMML, the Lutheran Church , Reformed Church In Zambia, Seventh Day Adventist Church, United Church of Zambia, the Evangelical Church in Zambia, Christ Embassy, Catholic Church, …”
The K50, 000 note interrupts, “What is a church?!!”
