So, after service today, my pastor starts in on the Steelers—he's a Redskins fan—before dismissing church. He's standing on the main floor. My wife, who is the Worship Leader, walks up behind him on the stage, and drapes a Terrible Towel over the podium. The church laughs.
He turns around, gives a big, exaggerated roll of the eyes. Meanwhile, a similar pic to this one has made it up on the TV monitors at the front of the church for everyone to see, courtesy of me.

Then, as soon as he starts in again (we love to play at the appropriate times); I drop this beauty on the TV screens.

Laughter ensued. Pastor decided he'd better start defending, so he went to say something . . . and I dropped this one in its place:

The church was laughing even harder.
Finally, I dropped the coup d'etat :

with VICTORY! across the middle.
And so . . . there we sat, with the Steelers symbol on both screens on either side of the stage, and the terrible towel draped over the podium as Pastor ended service.
The congregation loved it (and honestly, so did Pastor—it was a heavy message so I told him before service I had some stuff for play the end of service, and he led right into it on purpose to lighten the mood).
