Separated by a Common Language

A Scottish minister who had in his own kirk preached a very effective sermon on the text, "Naaman was a commander of the Syrian army, but he was a leper", decided to preach the same sermon during an American exchange.  What he did not realise was that the word butt in America refers to a person's posterior!  The three points of his sermon were:

"Everyone of us has a but."

"It is easy to see other people's buts."

"It is difficult to see your own but."

The congregation had great difficulty hiding their amusement.
