On our honeymoon, my husband and I traveled through the Carlsbad Caverns of New Mexico. At the end of the tour, we entered an elevator on the bottom of the cavern. We were tightly packed in with a group of other tourists. My husband was standing just behind me. Since he was in a "captive" position, I thought it would be a good time to reach back and tickle his leg. It was a long ride to the top of the cave, and I tickled and pinched the whole time. He didn't say a word. Afterward, I mentioned it to him. His eyes widened as he informed me, "It wasn't my leg!"

A missionary told me about the time that he had just arrived in the Philippines and was learning the Ilonggo language. Visiting a woman with a new baby, he decided to practice the language and said, "My, what a lovely baby you have!" The woman looked at him in shock, so he repeated it again, louder. After leaving the house, a friend told him what he had really said: "My, what a lovely negligee you're wearing."

Jenna, a student in my class at a Christian college, sported a different hair color every week—from bright pink to green to blue and other assorted shades. One day she came to class with her tresses their natural brown, and everyone stared. "What happened to your hair?" one student asked in surprise. "I'm going home this weekend," Jenna replied.

During an annual church convention in a prominent U.S. city, a waitress at a busy restaurant, noting the scarcity of tips left by visitors, declared, "These people come with a ten dollar bill and the Ten Commandments, and they don't break either one."
