You know, until I got to the part with the comments from the relative, I really thought the article was sort of a violation of privacy, and also a bit creepy — “Look at me, I’m an apostle’s home teacher, aren’t I swell?” I guess it must have gotten someone’s OK, though.

I giggled when I read this, anyway. I’d be all “my crazy home teacher keeps bringing this animal over… I have a deathly fear of dogs but I really don’t want to make him feel bad, especially because who knows how long it’ll be till they release him,” myself. But I dislike dogs, particularly big slobbery ones, a lot. And I’m sort of antisocial — a home teacher that came over three times a week would drive me batty.

You know, I’m not much of a home teacher. But at least I’m not a press informant.

Without the link to the framing article, this reads kind of Kaufman-esque.

Bizarre? Check.

Funny? Check. But why? How?

I think we have a site for you, Guest. Too bad it’s been mired for so long…

OK, so the link wasn’t working earlier and I didn’t get the joke. That article from Mormon Times is almost as disturbing as this one. Kudos.

Fake Elder Daynes shows up with his junior companion to teach Fake Patrick B.

FED: “Humor left at the door?”

Now here you have someone who enjoys his responsibility to home teach, and yes, he gets to home teach a general authority. But what if he got to home teach normal everyday people and still did the same kinds of things?? Would it make the news?? Would you be making fun of him?? I just have to say that you amaze me, and not in a good way….

“The quotes put in Elder Wirthlin’s mouth are SO inconsistent with the message of his last talk.”

Good heavens, you mean a parody puts words in people’s mouths that are inconsistent with what they really said? Ray, never let it be said that humor is lost on you.

Yes! Good to see you, Pardis.
