IRRITATING BREAKING NEWS: WHY MORMONS SOMETIMES GET MAD

WHY MORMONS SOMETIMES GET MAD
(By Bettyanne Bruin)

Maybe it’s because:
They’re encouraged to always smile.

They must love their neighbors,
even when their neighbors are cruel to them.

Mormons must be honest, even if it means returning the 100,000
dollars cash they found in the desert.

They’re not supposed to ever swear, even if someone cuts them off on
the freeway for the fifth time in one day.

They’re not supposed to ever get angry, not even at telemarketers who
will not quit calling their home.

They can’t ever watch sports on Sunday, unless their son is playing or
Marie Osmond is singing the National Anthem.

They’re never supposed to overeat, especially at a Ward dinner where
there’s not enough food to go around. And if a person at the front of
the line does take enough food to feed a football team, they’re not
supposed to swear at that person or drink their sorrows away. They

can’t even be honest and say the person is nothing but a big pig or get
angry at the world and say they’re not going to take it any more. No,
no, no, they must always smile, no matter what.
