Laughter is the best medicine...keep 'em coming
Once at the KH there was an Elder giving a quick 'talk' to the cong. about dress codes; he had noticed that many of the teenaged girls were wearing short skirts. Too short for his liking. So he goes on and ends with "Jesus, these girls just have to bend over to pick up a book and you can see what they had for breakfast!" Now I didn't really get it--still don't quite understand today. But I remember a rush of murmurs throughout the hall and my Mother going nuts with laughter...trying to hide her 'shame' in finding this so funny at the time. The Elders wife? Beet red face and ANGRY. When he went back to his seat I specifically remember her taking a rolled up watchtower and swatting him with it.
This next one is more of an embarrassing thing to me.
My uncle, who was only 5 years older than me, had attended a meeting with us to appease his mom, my gradmother. He never was into the 'truth' and prefered to just let his poor mother think he was. So he just went to that meeting at her request. Now this guy is known in the family for being extremely funny and merciless in his teasing of the KH ways. Well, during the final song I am standing there just singing along and all of the sudden hear this loud, low "mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm" like a chant or meditation sound. I look over and it's my uncle doing this. He has this huge evil grin plastered on his face and just keeps "mmmmm" -ing. It sounded so deep and loud--it seemed to echo, but nobody seemed to be able to tell where it came from. Everyone in the hall is starting to look around wondering if there is something wrong with the sound system. People looking up, down, left, right...trying to locate the source. Meanwhile, good Christian that I am, I am getting so angry at him that I start to try slipping unseen slaps on his arm to get him to shut up. By the time the second verse comes around I am laughing hysterically and quite tempted to join him in the 'chant'. Grandma never knew a thing.
