Spankers’ Bible

There’s been an online poll to distill top ten funniest typos in church magazines, and the second funniest entry was this:

The advent of the computer spellchecker has ensured that the church secretary doesn’t need to proofread the service sheets any more – or does he? In one church, the word “speaking” was spelt wrongly, so the spellchecker gave the nearest equivalent. As a result, puzzled worshippers sang…

“Teach us, Lord, the art of… spanking.”

It didn’t help that the next verse in the hymn begins with the words, “You release us from our bondage…”

Actually, I’m sure there are enough spankers out there who could benefit from divine instructions. Not implying anything about anyone here you know. *cough*

P.S. Check out the list of Bible Errata – the various printer’ errors that appeared in bibles through the ages.

    LOL!

    I can’t type the letters s-p without unconsciously typing out spanking. Bet that church secretary had the same problem. He he he 😉
