If you've attended a religious service which includes readings from a
Sacred Scripture, you have probably heard some humorous instances.
Genesis 15:17 tells of a flaming brazier (New American Bible
translation). I once heard "a flaming brassiere."
Luke 16:26, in the story of the rich man and Lazarus tells of a great
abyss. I have heard "a great abbess."
Both of these mispronunciations bring interesting pictures to mind!
