Most people are aware of Brigham Young's famous declaration upon reaching the Salt Lake Valley. For the first time, I present the ten things said by arriving pioneers after Brigham got there.
10. Is that the welcoming committee from the Eagle Forum?
9. No, Brother Kimball, I'm not seeing anyone currently.
8. This can't be the place. Srsly?
7. Now that we're free from the mobs, all we have to worry about are gays, feminists, and so-called intellectuals.
6. No, I am not a Democrat. Why do you ask?
5. You left your keys where?
4. Why would anyone want to re-enact that?
3. Stop crying, Brother Beck!
2. What do you mean, "no beer sales on Sunday"?
1. It's all right, President Young, but the Correlation Committee recommends shortening "the right place" to "the place."

I am surprised there are no jokes about using Oliver Cowdrey's staff but maybe those rumors are just that.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

11. This great salt lake shall be our source of drinking water. We will translate it into pure water through Kli-flos-is-es.

I'm pretty sure someone asked where they could get some fry sauce, but that might just be a rumor I heard.

Bro. Willagillespie: What will you name this place brother Brigham? I'm hoping it's something kewl like....Zarahemla, Zelph or.....Adam-ondi-Ahman.
Bro. Brigham: I'm leaning toward "The place", or "A place whats near to a really salty lake"
Bro. Willagillespie: Oh, well I'm sure it'll come to ya. Too bad you don't have a rock and a hat.
Bro. Brigham: Yeah, too bad. Say, how'd you like to be the first guy to land......
