How I Became Semi-Famous

Oh yeah, here is a short story about how I became semi-famous in the knoxville stake this week...

Several weeks ago I was on a team-up with our bishop's step-son.  On this team up, I told my Elder LeSueur and him a ridiculous joke about a train conductor and some chihuahuas (you see where this is going already, don't you?)  We'll the premise of the joke is that you pay attention intently to the details that I share, but then I end with this HORRID punchline and the real joke is that I just wasted 15 minutes of your life.

They loved it.

So our team-up goes home and tells it to his parents and we get a text from the bishop a few minutes later saying "Sterling is not allowed to team up with you anymore." Haha.  Well, their two youngest children are IN LOVE with the joke and want me to tell it every time we come over (joke's on me now, because I waste 15 minutes of my life whenever I have to tell the joke)

Anyway, fast forward to this Saturday night where the bishop's wife is speaking in the adult session of our stake conference.  Last week, I told her that if she needed to stall for time, she should tell the joke.  So she ended up giving me a little shout-out and referenced the joke in the adult session. (didn't tell it, but mentioned it).

And that's how I became semi-famous in the knoxville stake this last week.

Ask me about the joke when I get home....
