Hopefully this will be a topic that gets you thinking and many persons will have funny stories to tell. Apologies if it's been done before but I'm new here.
My Dad once gave a talk directed at the young persons in the cong. I was probably about 13 or 14 at the time.. a hormone on legs.. the blood vessels in my face ready to fill at the slightest opportunity making look like a redder than red beetroot. During the talk my Dad took it upon himself to continually refer to us kids as "You Young Men & Virgins." Makes me cringe now just thinking about it.
On another occasion someone elses Dad (you know who you are if you are reading this) was stood at the back of the hall doing the roving mikes. The speaker referred the audience to a scripture. there was the usual rustling of pages before the speaker started to read from the verse. As sometimes happened, and probably still does, the speaker had quoted the wrong chapter or verse or something. There was a confused few moments as the eager audience frantically tried to find where he was reading from. At this point the good intentioned chap stood at the back (who had found the correct location of the scripture) decided to write this in large black letters on a piece of paper and then wander down the aisle showing to the audience that they should actually be in the book of Revelenesis instead of Exodistcles. I just remember looking over towards the son of the chap, who was a similar spotty age to myself, and watching him die before my eyes.
I also remember the look on the speakers face, it simply said "what the hell are you doing man?"
Probably funnier at the time.
