OT: Might Make You Laugh

Supposedly a true story:

Whilst running for President Al Gore was reputed to have been asked what his favorite bible verse was. Mixing up the sign that appears at all football games (John 3:16), he replies John 16:3.

Well, its a knee slapper in religious circles =)

That quote's not from Gore, though it's also been attributed to Kerry. It is, apparently, from President Bush Sr.

To save people looking it up, John 3:16 is "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

While John 16:3 is "they will do such things because they have not known the Father or me."

Curious where you got that attribution.

At least, crossed with football circles. A venn diagram I lie entirely outside!
