Funny Story

I work at a small Christian bookstore.  My parents are also involved in the running of this bookstore.  We have a few spinners in the store, used to display some of the books.  Today, one of these spinners had the misfortune of tipping over, and it got a little bent out of shape by the fall.

Since one of the roles my Dad fills for the bookstore is General Handyman, I sent him a text, here's a few excerpts of our conversation.

Me: "Are you coming to the bookstore tonight? Do you have any sinner straightening tools? One fell and suffered a bit."

Dad: "Sinner straightening tools?  There's Bibles and other good books!"


One little missing 'p' makes all the difference.  But oh so funny in the context of the bookstore.  I'm still laughing!

Haha - this is funny :) I actually saw the word wrong right at the beginning of your story so I already had a laugh over how it could have been misunderstood :) ~Cher~
