      I thought they were all mostly funny, but this one made me laugh out loud.

      How do you figure they are BLOOPERS? Lets use:

      The Fasting & Prayer Conference
      includes meals.

      As an example. It is a CONFERENCE, not actually doing it. So who says tey aren't eating to PREPARE for the fast?

      Some might be misconstrued, or give the wrong idea, but they aren't bloopers.

        You are absolutely correct. They are not "bloopers" in a true sense. But some are written in a way that the intended meaning can be twisted and potentially misunderstood, and in that sense, I call them a blooper.

        Whether or not they are true bloopers, they are all pretty funny!

        Ha Ha you know I find that reply quite funny Steve, the fact you dont see the humour really.
        Oh dear my eyes are wet with laughter..( I suppose I am one of those people who see the funny side)

        Reminds me about the monty python sketch about the funniest jhoke in the world. The silliness of it caught me off guard and I could not stop laughing, my side were aching tears rolled down my face, etc, etc.

          I SEE the humor, and even pointed it out. I just didn't like someone implying it was WRONG. OK, it is funny. In SOME cases, they could have tried to prevent this. I said the SAME about the "chin in the armor" statement.

            I was literally in tears of laughter reading these. I grew up spending most Sunday mornings (against my wishes) in a pew. To pass the time I read the 4 pg church bulletin - and comments like the ones above are so typical.

            There are a few I've never forgotten. One was about the local, aged, Avon lady who always drove her old black car down the center of the street and always referred to her three cocker spaniels (always in the car with her) by their female names.

            The church bulletin praised the woman's fund raising for the church men's group - and added "we are often entertained by Irma, Gladys, Lizbeth and Lilly driving through town and look eagerly to see if they are dressed or not".

            The last three names were the dogs - who were often wearing doggie clothes. Some things you never forget!
