I once heard this joke from the former president of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod:
A little boy, who happens to be the son of a Missouri Synod pastor, comes home from school one day, and tells his mother, "The teacher today asked us how big the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod is, and so I answered, five foot two."
His mother, mortified, asked, "How could you say that?"
The boy said, "Well, Dad's about six feet tall, right?"
His mother answered, "Yes."
Boy says, "Well, the other day, Dad came home and held his hand up to his neck and said, 'I've had it up to here with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.'"
