chanson, April 16, 2007April 16, 2007

The very first thing I heard upon arriving at Youth Conference was a dirty joke.

    It probably isn’t possible. That really is a joke I heard some kid tell when I was at Youth Conference though. I’m not saying everything in this story is taken directly from real life — just the parts that seem too absurd to be made up… 😉
