I love funny threads!

Louis was in his freshman sociology class at Brigham Young University when the teacher asked the students what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, air traffic controller.
Louis was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go home with some guy for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly sent the other students to work on some exercises and took Louis aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said Louis, "he works for the Maxwell Institute, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other students!"

I think a more appropriate motto for Mormons is "We can make things hard." And not in a good way.

I avoid using the word "hard" for this very reason.

At my advanced age, "hard" is just a nice fantasy of what used to be.

Is there a matching photo with the elders? That too would be funny.

Yep, sexual references are always funny. There's got to be an explanation for that...
Shouldn't be too hard to come up with one.

I think what makes it funny in this case (and it is funny), is that the young LDS ladies are the ones making the sexual reference (unintentionally). I think you will have to admit that the Mormon Church does have a problem with false modesty (covered shoulders?).
The humor isn't about sex, it's about prudish people holding a banner with a very funny double entendre. We're not laughing about sex, we're laughing about false modesty.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
