For anyone else who was confused about what the audience was laughing at during general conference Saturday morning:
"After President Hinckley finished with the sustaining of the officers of the church during the Saturday morning session, Elder Eyring had moved into his new seat on the stand. Unfortunately, they didn't show this on TV, but when President Hinckley turned around, he stood there for a moment looking at Elder Eyring (probably with the little twinkle in his eye), then picked up his cane and "knighted" him on his shoulder and head."
For me, it's so wonderful to see that our prophet has such a sense of humor. I also love seeing how the brethren love each other. I read that Elder Oaks leaned down and kissed the top of Elder Wirthlin's head after his talk. I love hearing stories like that one.
I truly believe that Heavenly Father has a great sense of humor and I'm sure He enjoyed Pres. Hinckley's action. I know I did.

I went to the saturday afternoon session. It was my first time at the conference center!!! It was really neat--I'd highly recommend going there!
Oh man! That is a riot! I was wondering why everyone there was laughing! hah! He's such a cute man. I'm glad he's been the Prophet for most of my adult life. :)
my mom emailed me about that. i think thats so stinkin' cute. gordo (as i affectionately love to call him) is so fun. i think we are so blessed to have him as our leader. i really love that man.
I can only hope I'm as quick-witted when I'm just shy of 100 years old.
Oh Pres. Hinkley is so cute. It's fun to see the men who you think are so serious to have a sense of humor!
i love that! how cute is that, seriously? president hinckley is the man!
That is so cute. I love President Hinckley - he is so great!
I have to say I absolutely adore the Prophet. He is the most amazing man. The twinkle in his eye just bears testimony to me every time that this is the true church! He is so fun.
i didn't know about that! that is so cute and so like President Hinckley. i love him!!! i SO wish i could meet him in person.
I man. How I would have loved to see that. I just love that man. love him.
I just love that cute President Hinckley. I saw this in the Deseret News, but thanks for sharing it again- it's good to have a daily reminder about the goodness of the prophet!
I have been sent this email a couple of times, it is pretty cute for sure.
i loved that as well -you just gotta love the prophet
You have to love President Hinckley. He is so inspired, yet so down to earth. I think that's why he is so loved by everyone, not just church members.
A side note: We call him Papa Sprinkley. Not out of disrespect. We grew up with a little boy who, when learning how to talk, couldn't quite say President Hinkley.
I thought that was adorable and shows what a great sense of humor the Prophet has! I love that you can be spiritual and still have a sense of humor.
Isn't that the sweetest thing? I just love that man, he is so funny too.
I didn't know this! Thanks for sharing, Jan. Hinkley & Eyring are both just amazing.
