Good Morning,
I wanted to try and start a thread of a lighter nature, if I may. This idea was spurred by a recent post by @Stephen L Smith and the below story he told about Spurgeon:
This story left me rolling. So I wanted to create this thread in hopes that others might be willing to share other humorous quotes from men who have been serious a blessing to us spiritually. Is it me, or are the majority of humorous events always linked to Spurgeon? I may not be well read enough to contribute other than this post and marking your post as “Funny”.
@Moderators, the title is supposed to read “Humorous” not “Numerous”.

Spurgeon once interview a man for church membership. He checked with his previous church to see if he had been a member in good standing in the previous church. They informed Spurgeon they could not recommend him for membership because he "had too much of the flesh". Spurgeon got a measuring tape and measured himself and also the man who was applying for membership in Spurgeon's church. Lo and behold Spurgeon discovered he had "more of the flesh" than this other man. Needless to say this man was admitted to membership in Spurgeon's church.
