TOPEKA, KS — Local man Chris Hampton remained terribly confused about the meaning of a Bible verse despite the Biblical author having written “Let the reader understand.”
A forlorn Hampton simply could not comprehend a verse in the Gospel of Mark, despite the author’s explicit instruction to do so.
“Man, I’m such an idiot,” sighed Hampton. “‘Let the reader understand,’ he says. Well, I’m sorry Mark. I have no idea what the heck the ‘abomination of desolation’ means. Is it like, the New York Jets? Telling me to grasp it isn’t helping, bro.”
According to family members, Hampton has taken the setback rather hard. “He keeps walking around the house muttering, ‘But I don’t understand’,” said Hampton’s wife, Sarah. “I tried to tell him that perhaps he’s not receiving the spirit in which the words were written, but he just said ‘Well, of course you understand. You’re a woman.’ He gets like that sometimes.”
At publishing time, Hampton had once again felt defeated after reading, “Who has ears, let him hear.”
