But a lack of love for Mormons and Mormonism (or for Jesus and his gospel) has nothing whatsoever to do with it. Serious discussions of humor are lame. It's a major reason why I couldn't get through my dissertation on Mormon Humor and will forever be ABD as a folklorist. But from my almost expert position, I just want to say this post was and is magnificent. I'm with Randy B (#74) -- no apologies required.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Wheee! BTW, DH and I occasionally read out loud from my copy of *Fascinating Womanhood* when we need serious amusement for Family Home Screaming. Our favorite bit concerns how you can get your husband to stay home with you and the kiddoes rather than go bowling by stamping your feet and sticking your lip out and appealing to his "fatherly sense" rather than by emasculating him with the request that he contribute to his own family. Sometimes I have to stomp and stick my lip out just for fun :) Oh, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this until today. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Wheee!

Fortunately I really do think things have changed for the better there - but I am old enough to remember when that was pretty much standard.

I was at BYU during the Bagley/Benson era, and they had us laughing at Mormon ways all the time, without being disrespectful. The last time our stake was reorganized, I was at a party the weekend before, and a lot of guys were talking about their interview experiences. One brother told announced that he had named me as the best candidate for next stake president. Everyone laughed. Now, was he making fun of me, or making fun of the church, or just making fun period? Can we do that? Nobody seemed bothered by it. And he was called to be a counselor in the next stake presidency, so I don't think there is anything too wrong with his spirituality. (Although I admit there are some things I don't consider too funny...there have been some Capitol Steps' performances that seemed to step over the line, although I couldn't define that line for you...but the ZD satire was so clearly labeled as such.)

Better yet, maybe it will be exposed that we were part of the third who revolted in the War in Heaven, a legion of demons that has taken over someone's computer and is perpetrating lies across cyberspace.
