. . . I just about injured myself laughing at this one.

The panty drawer bit was a riot. We're coming for your porn and hooch next.
By the way, I'm in Anaheim for the rest of this week. Can anyone recommend a safe-haven dinner spot for a hate-filled bigot? Any of you want to see a real Jack-Mormon up close? (Is that the right term JoMal?)
Isn't it? It is what my friend Derek (who is a Mormon and should know) called those who had fallen out of the churches favor. Which happened to Derek when he went on a mission to England. You see, there was this married lady.......and for some reason Derek had a guilt trip, so he confesses......so he gets sent back home, where he has to stand up in front of his church and family and get vilified for it this transgression (he could invite a friend to support him, so I got a front row seat to his humiliation). So he gets excommunicated for a year.
During that time, Derek sends for a girl he met in England (not the married one, but she already has a kid without benefit of a marriage) and who he converted to LDS. Who he marries (I was his best man - Mormon weddings - a whole other story). Derek later goes into business with his dad and younger brother. Derek is a very hard worker and his idea, which I now forget, was a good one. But since his father helped finance the business, he decided his younger son needed a career more then Derek, so the two of them essentially bought Derek out without Derek really getting a say in the matter, leaving him jobless and giving the business to the younger son. Who had no clue as to what to do, so within a year bankrupts the business.
Then Derek's mother dies (he was close to her), and Derek's father remarries in like a month, with the support of Derek's older brother AND younger brother. Derek....not so much. Derek is NOT what you would call a Jack Mormon, but he certainly is not a church elder either. I go to the wedding of Derek's daughter he has with the English woman, who my wife and I actually like. At the wedding, I get to see Derek's family once again, and since I know them, I sit with them and get to hear how happy Derek's father is in his new marriage and how great things are, and why he thought remarrying was such a good (church hates a vacumm) idea.
Derek does not come over and talk to me at all while I sit with his family. Later I talk to him and I mention some of these things and Derek immediately shrugs, changes the subject and his wife gives me a <cut the topic off> motion. Derek only comment - "I don't care what they do", then a month after the wedding, Derek sells his carpet installation business he started up after the other one was taken away from him and moves to Montana or Idaho, or some place. I have lost touch.
Needless to say, my opinion of the Mormon church, based on Derek's treatment and his own family, is not very good.
