pause for thought

I was enjoying lying in bed listening to Graham Norton on radio 2 on Thursday. I particularly enjoyed listening to the increasing panic as the time for "Pause for thought" came ever closer - the Canon due to deliver said thought was apparently stuck in traffic. She didn't make it in time, leaving Graham to do his best.
He started with "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
But he obviously felt this wasn't quite sufficient to count as a pause, so then came out with "A problem shared..........is gossip".

I am very tempted to do this in cross-stitch in the style of an old-fashioned sampler - to hang in the vestry (should we ever be in that position)
Mrpastasmissus suggests writing it on a large wooden spoon. I think that's more practical. Perhaps one should be issued to each Bible-study or prayer group leader, so they can brandish it whenever required (a bit like a yellow card!).
Hmm.... 2 wooden spoons equals a week on the sinner's stool?
I'm open to suggestions ;-)
