You say potAto, I say potahto…

Shout out to my SIL for this stinkin’ hilar­i­ous story:

Care­ful of the words you use…

The pas­tor asked if any one in the con­gre­ga­tion would like to express praise for answered prayers.
Mary stood and walked to the podium. She said, “I have some­thing to be thank­ful for. Two months ago, my hus­band, Jim, had a ter­ri­ble bicy­cle wreck and his scro­tum was com­pletely crushed. The pain was excru­ci­at­ing and the doc­tors didn’t know if they could help him.”
You could hear an audi­ble gasp from the men through­out the con­gre­ga­tion as they imag­ined the pain that poor Jim had experienced.
She con­tin­ued, “Jim was unable to hold me or the chil­dren and every move caused him ter­ri­ble pain. We prayed as the doc­tors per­formed a del­i­cate oper­a­tion. They were able to piece together the crushed rem­nants of Jim’s scro­tum and wrap
wire around it to hold it in place.”
The men in the con­gre­ga­tion squirmed uncom­fort­ably as they imag­ined the hor­ri­ble surgery per­formed on Jim. And the wife con­tin­ued, “Now, Jim is out of the hos­pi­tal and the doctor’s say, with time, his scro­tum should recover completely.”
All the men sighed with relief.
Thun­der­struck by the wife’s account, the pas­tor slowly rose and hes­i­tantly asked if any one else had any­thing to say.

A man rose and timidly walked to the podium. He announced, “Hi, I’m Jim and I want to tell my wife Mary, ONCE AGAIN, the word is STERNUM.”

  1. Was Jim sit­ting next to a six-foot Peter?

    Yah, no one is going to get this and you’re going to need to explain. Pre­pare yourself.
