"Well... as a matter of fact, Yes!" she replied. "I've been divorced three times."
My mother began getting calls from people who misdialed the similar number of a new computer repair business.
Mom, who had had her number for years, asked the owner of the company to have the number changed.
When my nephew Arthur was little, the local pastor dropped by my sister's house for a visit. My brother-in-law, an avid fisherman, was preparing for a weekend at the lake when suddenly little Arthur bellowed, "My daddy's got worms!''
"Oh," replied the preacher,"You mean he's got fishing worms?"
With a straight face my nephew said: "No, he's got worms."
While he had a perplexed look on his face, only divine wisdom that comes from years of ministry kept the pastor from asking any further questions.
