Biblical Puns

The sermon (thankfully) started off relatively normal by Pastor Sciutto’s standards. It was nice and simple: Noah’s Ark.

“God told Noah to build an ark,” with a wry smile crossed Pastor Sciutto’s face as he opened his homily, “So Noah told his sons, ‘Boys, go for wood!’”

Absolute silence followed.

“Get it? ‘Go for’ wood? The Bible said Noah built the ark out of gopher wood. Go for? Gopher? It’s a pun. Anybody?”

One guy in the congregation coughed uncomfortably.

“Ahem,” Pastor Sciutto shuffled his papers, “Anyway, you should really get saved.”

This was going to be a long Sunday morning.
