It was a stupid joke given at an inappropriate time. The punch line was mean spirited with no humor value. Just my opinion, but I know why Deb likes it... 😎

😛 I have that confusion all the time. 🙄

It was not a funny joke; it was mean and not funny. If it had been mean but funny, I wouldn't have had as much of a problem with it. 😛

OK, how about this one:

Woman: "Are you Brigham Young?"

Brigham Young: "I am."

Woman: "Are you the Brigham Young that is the head of the Mormon church?"

Brigham Young: "I am."

Woman: "Are you the Brigham Young that led the Mormons to Utah?"

Brigham Young: "I am."

Woman: "Are you the Brigham Young that denounces all Christian religions as false except Mormonism?"

Brigham Young: "I am."

About this time, the woman is beginning to lose her temper.

Woman: "Are you the Brigham Young who preaches polygamy?"

Brigham Young: "I am."

Now she's really getting mad.

Woman: "Are you the Brigham Young who has 26 wives?"

Brigham Young: "I am."

Then furiously, she says -

Woman: "You ought to be Hung!"

Brigham Young: "I am."

🙄...I just love that Brigham Young...LOL

I see the humor in it, but I also see the falseness in it, and also the words that are offensive to the church. Either way, I know you were just saying it in a jokingly manner, so I shall excuse you this once... hehe!

💃

Good, because I"ll probably do it again... 😉

*is getting hit by a stick*

Your right, finiti isn't hitting a hornets nest.

I was being figurative, but you know what I meant.

What do you mean???.......Now I'm curious... 😂

^I was being figureative too. Becuase they seemed not to understand who the "hornets" were.

Anywho, I like the father joke, lol. Not that it may be implying missionaries are son's of the devil, but that the missionaries answered mordantly.....

You mean your history??

doh Someone just whispered in my ear, "it's not a hornet's nest, you idiot, it's a bee hive" 😮

For thse who are attacking the Polygamist ways of the church in it's early years, you should read this:

"In this one-woman play, dramatist and historian Joan Oviatt portrays the inspiring story of Emmeline Blanche Woodward Harris Whitney Wells - fifth Relief Society General President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and one of the most influential women of the 19th century. Friend of suffragist Susan B. Anthony, Emmeline was entertained by Queen Victoria and received a personal visit from President Woodrow Wilson.

The play shows Emmeline's triumph over solitude, depression, social ridicule, and religious persecution. It tells of her need to be loved and her struggle to find her place in the world. As a talented writer and editor of a popular magazine called the Woman's Exponent, Emmeline spoke out nationally on women's rights and challenged misconceptions about LDS women. Emmeline was born in an era when women were considered legal property and lived to see them vote. She was part of the pioneer struggle for survival and live to see motor-powered automobiles. Her life fulfilled a blessing she received at age 15, which promised, "You will live to do a work that has never been done by a woman since the creation.""

I was watching it on T.V., it's called "Sixth Wife". It was really thouching to hear accounts of this woman, she was really cool. Not the kind of mindless yahoo a lot of you guys picture as a polygamist huh?

😛

Emmeline Blanche Woodward Harris Whitney Wells

Lol, my impression also. She usually went by Emmeline Wells, but that is her full name.
She had some hard times, and lost some husbands. (three to be exact as Blanche is her middle name)

She was pretty incredible though.
