The Fear of God

Old Wahoo attended a newcomers' class at his church this weekend, and he may have won the foot-in-mouth award for most ill-advised joke. At the beginning of the class, everyone was supposed to say why they were attracted to the church. When it was my turn, I said I have three sons and "I want to put the fear of God in them." No one really laughed - in fact, one lady put here hands on her head - and I felt pretty stupid.
