2nd cheesy mission story of the day:

When I got to the mission home in Spain I was promptly greeted by the Assistant Presidents. One of them was a Spaniard. He seemed nice. Then I stepped on a pin of a duck. As I pulled it out of my sole I declared, "I have a pato en mi zapato!"

He didn't think it was funny.
