Good job Erik.....I needed a laugh today! This was perfect. Thank you!

Mike A. | 4:11 p.m. Sept. 5, 2007

I can see it now.

As an active Mormon here in Southern California, this cheesy Utah Mormon humor, reinforces my decision to stay far away from the Zion Curtain...
Besides, the Church is "truer" here in SoCal and "cheese-free"...

Fun humorï¿½good job

Oh wow... | 5:20 p.m. Sept. 5, 2007

That was ridiculous. Deseret News, Please don't ever publish anything this un-comical again. As a non-Utah Mormon, I try hard to respect Utahns and not be a "Utah Basher", but this doesn't give me any incentives to continue trying.

To the negative comments... lighten up people. With all the negative junk out there, why do you complain about a joke, regardless if you think it's actually funny or not.

Becky | 7:03 p.m. Sept. 5, 2007

Great fun! For those of us who live far from "Mormon Valley" it is nice to share some Mormon humor.

ryan | 7:19 p.m. Sept. 5, 2007

heard this one before; unfortunately, it wasn't funny then either....

What's with the negativity people? I'm a convert who used to live in SoCal and now lives in Wisconsin. I find this joke hilarious! I'm willing to bet (in a non-gambling way of course) that President Hinkley would smile and probably snicker at this joke.

grrrrreat!!!! we just had a "steak Dinner" at one of those resturants. and we loved it. not many places have such friendly and clean cut men and boys taking care of your needs. and its nice to have help cleaning up too. in texas

I love it! With apologies to Joe Walker, I humbly offer my own seasonal addition to the menu for the franchises in the Deep South: At Easter they should serve Joseph Smithfield Ham (from Virginia) with Candied Wheat Potatoes. Oh, I love those groans!!

Shiz | 12:29 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

No need to lose your head over this.

I think its great that Mormons can see a lighter side to their idiosyncrasies.

yep | 1:39 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

This is several years old. It came from a "Snide Remarks" column by Eric Snider. Credit where credit is due, people.

Lame | 1:59 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

This was dumb...cheesy and just dumb.

Meret | 2:38 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

As a Mormon living in Europe with family in Utah it is continually clear to me that there is a distinct mormon utah culture out there that has nothing to do with the actual church and religion, hard for utah mormons to separate sometimes. I did have a good laugh though, at their expense.

Luis | 2:41 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

I found it quite hilarious. I believe it is inappropiate of any formal newspaper to be posting jokes like this, but hey, marketing is what drives our economy and I can see the reasons why they would put in here. I must say it was funny, and definetly will not be funny if you are not mormon and you have not been a mormon for a while already.

Aragon | 2:59 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike | 3:11 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

I grew up in Utah, but the military has taken me out of Utah, so I have had the opportunity to associate with plenty of "non-Utah Mormons." Last time I checked, it was the same church. What's the deal people??? Last time I checked the commandment was "judge not lest ye be judged." What's going to happen with all these "non-Utah Mormons" that are so quick to judge and are so critical of "Utah Mormons?"

sharonearly | 3:30 a.m. Sept. 6, 2007

sitting here in sunny northern spain this article has made my morning if not day!!! yes i'm a mormon and i'd love the opporunity to have something like this here especially as a mother of 3 teenagerswho find their social life somewhat limited as THEY try to keep church standards.
