Instead of Psalm 34:8, Tim signed autographs for nearly a hundred people and included a different verse from the book of Psalms.
"So, I'm thinking, ‘Oh, it's Psalm something. I got to pick something,'" Tim said. "And I said, ‘I'll just have to make up a verse here.' So, I did. I picked Psalm 38, verse 7. I picked it out of thin air."
When Tim got home, he looked up that verse, Psalm 38:7, and realized his unfortunate but hilarious error.
"And to my horror, it says, ‘Lo, I have a painful disease in my loins,"' Tim said.
That verse, from Psalm, isn't likely to be a favorite verse of many.
