Okay, so we get a similar submission almost weekly… all with slight variations. This quote seems to be the mother of all overheards. Whenever we get this submission, we try to quiz the submitter where they heard it. However, no one in the past actually heard it and was passing on folklore. Well, today, we are pleased to announce that it was verified! This is the real one!

Original submission:

“While giving an talk at zone conference, the mission president’s wife could not stop crying long enough to say a single word. After a few minutes of this, an area Seventy got up and put his arm around her.  She apologized saying, “I’m sorry!  I’m such a big boob.”  He responded with, “It’s okay, we like big boobs!”  Then realized what he said!  So much for a spiritual missionary meeting!”

When quizzed for additional details we received the following:

“Yes, the woman giving the talk was my grandma, [name removed], speaking to the Edmonton Canada mission around the year 2000. I don’t know the name of the area Seventy at the time.”

(This is a Make-A-Title. Leave your title suggestion as a comment.)
