Decrepit Women

Today's gag comes from recent graduate of Young Women's to Relief Society Abby V. (She's handling the transition much better than the girl in the comic.)

Missionary Photos Home

Do missionaries even do this anymore? When I was a missionary we all carried around a photo album that we'd pull out a couple of times a week to show the people we met what our lives in America were like. Today, a missionary would have a hard time finding a place that even develops photos for their album.

Boring Pioneers

We tend to focus on the tragedy of the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies when it comes to telling the story of the Mormon pioneers. According to some data I just pulled from the internet, Latter-day Saint pioneers traveling West had a mortality rate of 3.5% which was slightly higher than the overall U.S. mortality rate of 2.9%.

For many Saints, the trek West wasn't quite as deadly as we think it was. That's probably because we don't tell those stories very often.

Loveseat

Spend a couple of minutes with a missionary companionship and it's usually pretty clear just how well they get along. But even the most compatible companionship struggle with a tight loveseat.

Lamoni's Sheep

If Balaam can have a talking donkey,* then why can't Lamoni have some talking sheep? 

*If you polled my children as to what their favorite Old Testament story was Balaam and his donkey would finish neck and neck with Elisha calling forth some angry bears to maul a bunch of kids for making fun of his receding hairline for their favorite. My wife and I might be up for some parenting award for that!

Hot Potato

The thing is: Elder Steele is an offensive lineman. That means Elder Van Dyke can hold the football all day long and he'll just walk in front of him making sure nobody touches him. Van Dyke has nothing to be afraid of here. 

(Unless, Elder Steele is going to be practicing some sort of drill where the ball is fumbled and recovered by the defense. Then Elder Van Dyke should be very, very worried.)

(I clearly have no idea what football drills look like.)

The Oldest Joke in the Area Book

I could see how this could get extremely old extremely fast.

Today's gag comes from the fertile mind of faithful reader Parker V.

Doomed!

Not Quite Boy Scout Camp

Let's be honest, no one cared about the merit badges at these camps, they were only interested in burning things.
