Wrong Part

During the service, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express thanks for prayers which had been answered.

A lady stood up and came forward. She said, "I have a reason to thank the Lord. Two months ago, my husband, Jack, 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 in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Jack experienced. She continued, "Jack 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 Jack's scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place"

Again, the men in the Congregation squirmed uncomfortable as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Jack. She continued, "Now, Jack is out of the hospital and the doctor's say, with time, his scrotum should recover completely." All the men sighed with relief.

The pastor rose and tentatively asked if any one else had anything to say. A man rose and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "Hi, I'm Jack and I would like to tell my wife, the word is 'sternum'."
