EWES!!!

just how do you pronouce that word? out loud.
ewwwwwwwwws?
eoooooooos?
eveees?

i had the greatest difficulty reading this out loud in church. i rarely read out loud in church.but i had to do it for the evening sermon. this time i thought i'd go for it, since it was sunday night, and not a whole lot of people were there. not cos im shy or anything, just not a reader outter of the bible in the church-er.
it was the verse with 200 cows, 30 bulls, 50 donkeys etc... and apparently there had to be 200 ewes as well... so i see it and it suddenly pops into my head that it sounds just like a plural ewwwww..
unfortunately, i'm already committed and i have to finish reading. so i'm reading two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and right there i start spluttering, trying not to laugh out loud, because pastor Daniel is sitting there and i dont need to get into shit with him. i just hit a mental brick wall right there. it was like an ewe came and kicked me in the balls err.. head. i could not say that word for the life of me without laughing...finally, i limped through the rest of the verse, and it was never mentioned again.

this is exactly why i dont go to church regularly..

methinks we need to change the pronounciation to evays or evees or anything.. Oxford are ya listenin to me..


what a start to a [Happy New Year]..
