Proof Reading...

This is a story worth sharing... I had been assigned a talk for church and had a asked a "good" friend to proof read my talk... little did I know, my talk had been edited... So I am on the pulpit sharing my talk, pouring out my thoughts when I come to a quote, in which I read, with much conviction I am told, from an Elder John H GOOBER! For a split second something crosses my mind and I remember thinking, "it says Goober, oh yeah, that sounds right." Little did I realise that it had been changed from Elder John H GROBERG to GOOBER! No one in the congregation seemed to have noticed anything so all including me seemed to be oblivious to the incident (except of course, the proof reading culpret and my best-o who said she heard it and let out a bit of a giggle, but then because no one else seemed to react at "Goober" I think she thought oops I just laughed and no one else is...) I near the end of my talk and find an addition to my talk, which was dead obviously and almost caused me to laugh out loud, but still I had no idea that I had totally made an oopsie until I was later told by my friend and couldn't help but laugh at myself, actually still laughing about it... So can't wait for the opportunity to "proof read" for my friend...
