In the early days of the internet, posting unintentionally lewd and risqué church signs was a popular sport, but it declined after a series of so-called “church sign generators” allowed anyone to put any short message onto half a dozen generic church sign templates. The resulting flood of implausible sign images called the entire enterprise into disrepute.

But pastors never got better at being clever, and they never got any more worldly, so they kept posting “jokes” out front of their churches that were unintentionally (or perhaps sometimes even intentionally, who can say?) loaded with double entendre. And these days, with Google Street view, it’s sometimes at least possible to verify that the church in question exists, and that the signboard is real, and that the pastor in question attempts to post funny messages.

As much as I am inclined to agree with the comfortably-patriarchal sentiment that “the best gift a mother can give is time spent on her knees”, I wouldn’t have trusted the authenticity of the image without having been able to verify that the signboard for that church exists in the wild and had a different dumb joke on it when the Google photo car drove past.
