My sign would have been better

As I was driving back to work this morning, I passed an old brick Methodist church. It had a small marquee out front that read:

OPEN

HEARTS
MINDS
DOORS

However, I read it as:

OPEN

HEARTS
MINDS
ODORS

I didn't get it, but I knew it had to be some clever reference. All I could picture was a church full of old people taking in the Word of God and discharging something completely different. I had at least three jokes ready about why they were called pews. Unable to pass up this chance for a hilarious anecdote, I whipped out my phone to snap a picture. And then I saw it. Doors.

Not hilarious. Not even slightly funny. Totally a missed opportunity.
