Subject: FW: Fw: Phil's scrotum....this is a hoot!
The pastor asked if
anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered
prayers.
Suzie Smith stood and
walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my
husband, Phil, 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 a muffled gasp from the
men in the congregation as they imagine the pain that poor Phil must
have experienced. "Phil was unable to hold me or the children," she
went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain." We prayed as the
doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were
able to piece together the crushed remnants of Phil's scrotum, and
wrap wire around it to hold it in place." Again, the men in the
congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the
horrible surgery performed on Phil. "Now," she announced in a
quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Phil is out of the hospital and the
doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."
All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and
tentatively asked if anyone else had something to
say.
A man stood up and
walked slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Phil." The
entire congregation held its breath. "I just want to tell my wife the
word is sternum."
