I had one of those friends that was really crazy when I was young and his thing was calling up adult book stores and asking if they could sell him a children's Bible. Fortunately they had invented speaker phones by then and I could listen in. Inevitably the discussion digressed with the porn shop worker repeating over and over "Sir, this is an ADULT book store" at which point this guy would say "Fine, I'll take an ADULT sized Bible then."
