HT Nick Lear, for this joke which made me chuckle enough to hurt my scars...
One Sunday morning, the minister told the congregation that he was going to say a series of words, and he wanted them to sing the song that came to mind, when he said each word.
The first word he said was 'rock' They immediately started singing 'Rock of Ages.'
The second word he said was 'name' and they sang 'Lord, I lift your name on high.'
The third word was 'cross' and they began singing 'The Old Rugged Cross.'
The fourth word he said was 'eyes' and they sang, 'Open the eyes of my heart, Lord.'
Finally, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, the Minister said, "Sex". Everyone gasped and then it got very quiet. Finally, way in the back of the church an 87 yr old lady stood up and started gently singing, "Memories."

Not sure how well this shows up, but it is the part of my hall wall where I do my daily 'wall climbing' exercise. Since I began this exercise on 17th Feb, I have increased my reach by almost 8" (20 cm), sometimes in big steps, other times not at all. There is still a good way to go for my right arm to match my left, but progress is good and it is satisfying to see the lines moving higher up the wall (hopefully they'll rub off after this is finished!)
Next to my daily 'wall climbing' marks hangs this little plaque I made in 2004 to commemorate the visit of a BMS Action Team to Dibley BC.
