overheard in tonight's adult education class

Teacher: "Tonight we're going to talk about testimony."*

Very Sweet, Hard of Hearing Older Woman: "What did she say?"

Teacher: "Testimony."

Very Sweet, Hard of Hearing Older Woman: "Sex Warning?"

Teacher: "TESTIMONY."

Very Sweet, Hard of Hearing Older Woman: "SEX TESTIMONY?"

Oh.

My.

Good.

Lord.

Help me.

Not fall over laughing.

Amen.

*(Note: "Testimony" is the chapter we're studying in Dorothy Bass's excellent book, Practicing Our Faith. In case you think I have gone off my mainline/Lutheran rocker.)

My favorite is
Me: Would you like me to pray?
Woman: Spray? Spray what?

yeah, I have no idea what was on her brain. Well, apart from the obvious. Maybe the better comment is that I have no idea WHY.
