Church Holds Cornhole Tournament

When I saw this sign on a Toledo church, I couldn’t believe it. I actually turned around and went back to make sure I had read it right. Then, still disbelieving, I did a search to make sure the slang meaning I associated with “Cornhole” was “common knowledge.” It is.

I’m assuming they’re playing the game and not having lots of anal sex. I did not inquire, even though it was a Sunday morning and there were people around.

But the larger question is why would you put this on your church sign – on a major road – in giant letters? Why? It’s difficult for me to imagine that no one in that congregation knows the meaning of this phrase.  Maybe their goal is to get publicity and I’m playing right into their hands.

Regardless, I remain shocked anyone would use this on a church sign. And I don’t shock easily.
