A tad off topic, but Abram's Latin there sent me to pull this from my files (cribbed from the rec.humor newsgroup):

"Dear Lord," the preacher began with arms extended and a rapturous look
on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."

He would have continued, but at that moment one very obedient little
girl (who was listening carefully) leaned over to her mother and asked
quite audibly in her little girl voice, "Mommy, WHAT is butt dust?"
