The provenance of the papyrus fragment is a mystery, and its owner has asked to remain anonymous. Until Tuesday, King had shown the fragment to only a small circle of experts in papyrology and Coptic linguistics, who concluded that it is most likely not a forgery. But she and her collaborators say they are eager for more scholars to weigh in and perhaps upend their conclusions.

Options:
1. Get John Gee to tell us what length it was originally.
2. Get Monson to dust off the seer stone.
3. Buy it and get Oaks to write an apologetic, that when it refers to 'wife' it actually meant spirit of his mothers influence, shortly before it comes out as a forgery.
4. Put out an official statement saying the Church takes no official position on the matter as it isn't essential to our salvation to know if Jesus pulled a bird.
5. Excommunicate the owner.
6. Get Holland to wave a piece of yellow legal pad at Conference telling the audience that it is the original papyrus on tat Jesus used to read to his wife.

Actually, the fragment refers to a joke that Jesus like to tell as an ice breaker when he was preaching.
"Take my wife...please!" da da dunt. And you thought Rodney Dangerfield came up with it.

Didn't most men marry back then?

Good point. How could Jesus really know suffering if he never got married??

Sure. So Alma 7:11-12 shows that Jesus was married?

Could that 40 days and nights in the wilderness simply have been a metaphor for a very torrid honeymoon night?
