Church Signs & Bulletin Bloopers


"QUANTUM SHOT" #79


Church CAN be hilarious!

Home Improvement, Architecture, Signs

Unless you go to a Church of Art and Apathy or you are an Apathetic Agnostic whose motto is "we don't know and we don't care", you might consider visiting normal church one day. Especially when being enticed by the church signs and bulletins like these:

I was a church secretary for a year. Another secretary there was in charge of the bulletin, but she always had me proofread it for her. She swears that, when she was a secretary for another church, she let "Do You Like to Sin in the Shower?" get through to the real bulletin.

.............

When I was the "maintenance guy" at my former church, I left a note attached to a receipt in the office for the secretary. Note read:
"Van Battery died." The secretary was concerned that she didn't know this church member, and asked how she should announce his passing in the bulletin.

.............

Church sign: The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

.............

A nervous pastor preaching his first sermon. Instead of "God called me to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out the devil."
what came out was, "God called me to heal the dead, cast out the sick, and raise the devil."

.............

Over the massive front doors of a church, these words were inscribed: "The Gates of Heaven". Below that was a small cardboard sign which read: "Please use other entrance."

Oh, man....

Are you trying to kill me?

Do you have any idea how funny these things are?

Do you have any idea how bad my cough is right now?

Man, I almost passed out, on several occasions. Laughing so hard can kick off a serious coughing fit. You should make a sign to warn people about that....

  • My parents bought a D-series at the factory in 1959, drove it around Europe and then shipped it home. It was bronze, looks like the one here floating on orange balls. We kept it until the mid-70s, and it was one of the first cars I ever drove. It was one amazing piece of machinery. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!

  • Yes, the famous DS study. Citroen has to be praised for daring and innovative designs in the past and today. They went through a bit of a dullness phase during the 80s and 90s, but they're coming back strongly now. When it comes to design, these guys know their stuff.

  • That very special DS was made for the 1958 Universal Exhibition of Brussels.
    It was an exhibition where a new kind of design begun.
    People there were also amazed by the Atomium building: a crystal metal molecule made 165 billions times bigger!
    That building stills up today and have just be resurfaced. So if you're in Brussels some times, be sure to see it! You can even go in and walk in the balls, up and downs stairs and escalators.
