Huw<\/a> and I stared at him for a second, looked at each other, back to him, and in tandem, with grimace, said: \u201cJesus\u2019 wife?\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cYeah,\u201d he said, \u201cthe clue was, \u2018Who was Jesus\u2019 wife?\u2019 The answer\u2019s \u2018Mary\u2019 right? Is that right? Mary? Jesus\u2019 wife?\u201d<\/p>\n
Another mutual glance between Huw & I.<\/p>\n
I mean, I\u2019m aware of confusion caused by \u201cThe DaVinci Code\u201d and other Gnostic stuff floating around. But the newspaper?<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cNo. No. Was this in the newspaper?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah! Right, guys?\u201d He got nods of verification from several others.<\/p>\n
Back to Huw; then I stared out into space for a second. \u201cYou know,\u201d I said, \u201cI bet they mean \u2018Hay-sues\u2019 \u2026 you know, Spanish \u2026 like \u2018Who was Hay-sues\u2019 wife?\u2019 \u2026 and the answer was \u2018Seniorita\u2019 or something.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNope. I think the answer began with an \u2018L\u2019 \u2026 four letters. But I\u2019m pretty sure it was talking about the Lord.\u201d (Quick glance at Huw. \u201cThe Lord?\u201d Back to the clients). \u201cIsn\u2019t that right guys? Wasn\u2019t it talking about the Lord?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
Yup. They all agreed.<\/p>\n
Dang.<\/p>\n
\u201cI dunno,\u201d I said. We all went about our business for the next 10 minutes or so when \u2026<\/p>\n
Huw piped up: \u201cLady!\u201d<\/p>\n
Wha?<\/p>\n
\u201cLady. The Lord\u2019s wife \u2026 Lady.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ha! It took a little explaining to the clients but, for two guys, it was a hoot.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
