THAT IS A HOOT!

Proofreading isn't that complicated. I agree. How did they miss that?

The crowd is gonna love it 😀

Likely because they don't have the mind of a 12 year old. Literally took me effort to bend my thoughts in that direction and even then it was a stretch.

I don't get what is wrong, do you have an issue with the title?

Exactly. They should have led with

"Televangelist has 5th largest organ in the world gets his pipes cleaned."

Funny part toe is it's now a Roman Catholic church. As a former Catholic our numbers are dwindling. We Latinos are converting and the Irish and Italians ain't popping out babies like they used to.

Was there ever a time when r/funny was actually funny and not just a constant stream of puerile dick "jokes"? Asking for a friend.

Sounds like all organ-related issues

And in LaCrescent, Minnesota, a wonderful church holds their “Crucifixion Family Fun Fest” every summer.

Catch what?

Don't get me wrong, I understand organ can mean penis. But so can about a hundred other words. There are SO MANY words for penis.

But there is only one word for the musical instrument being discussed here. What do you think they should've called it?

Do you understand the point of this post?

The editor should have caught the phrasing because it creates a double entandre. I can't believe I have to explain this to anyone. They could have referred to it in a lot of different ways without having it appear like there referring to something sexual.

It's like 50,000 other funny / screwed up headlines that have gone before it. That's why it's in this subreddit.

At least I didn't double down on the humor and suggest Hazel is the wrong name for the organ. Most men would have named it Elvis.

We do not claim them.

There certainly are people here who think the height of humour is to make inane puns, bray like donkeys, ask "get it?", bray some more, then explain their inanity. They even seem to have their own television shows, but we don't claim them.

There's nothing to catch. The statement was not written specifically for giggling ten-year-olds.

The only thing funny here is the guy started a church on a drive theatre, paved the way for mega churches and is clearly making a huge amount of money and yet people don't think he is full of shit or a scam artist?? Now that is laughable.

Only other laughable thing I can see is how frustrated OP is getting that they had to explain what they thought the joke was 🤣 because we all know that if you have to point out that it was meant to be a joke and then explain it to everyone then that is a sign of it being a really good joke. /s

Your liver is also an organ.

After reading the headline, the first thing I thought was that some pastor claimed Jesus cured sime sort of illness that was affecting one of his organs; organ=dick only came to mind muuuuuuuch later, and only after reading the first few words of the article and realizing they were taking about a musical instrument.
