This just in: Sources high up in the church hierarchy have confirmed what was long suspected by posters on RFM, that Thomas Monson has hand selected Daniel Peterson to represent him before the magistrate court in March. Peterson, drawing from his years or masterful apologetics on behalf of the church, is expected to pick apart the the seven allegations one by one and send poor Phillips packing to Portugal.

How is that possible? Did the summon allow a proxy?

I agree...HOW is that possible? if a court sends him a summons for Old Man Monson to appear can he really do it by proxy?

Good Lord, obviously a joke. They need to invent a sarcasm font.

Why not they do baptisms and sealings by proxy.

Is this true or sarcastic? I could definitely see them trying something like this.

I got to this party late, but I'm wondering if they would've realized it was a spoof if I'd offered to throw in a free cab ride from Happy Valley to the Airport...

Offer still stands, Denial Old Boy... If you're ever called to testify before Congress and defend the "one true church," I'm your driver...

A joke? Ha ha?

please mark it as such. If not, please provide evidence.

LOL

Now if LDS Inc., wants this to end and see a bump in the tithes why not just send the 3 Nephites. They could each swab their mouths, get a bit of DNA and SLAM DUNK for Tommy and the Brethern.


I can't wait! Hopefully Cain/Bigfoot will also show up and the 3 Nephites and Cain can duke it out.

Daniel Peterson is not competent. The summons says it has to be monson. The courts will not bow down and worship his royal hinus's ass. They will treat him like any other commoner.

Can a court in a foreign country demand that anyone from a different country "appear". What about International law? Are US citizens 'ruled over' by a court or authority figure in another country?

You call that a sense of humor?

not completely out of the realm of possibility either. Crazier things have happened!

We don't need this crap.

I laughed.

Me too.

Oh thanks for giving me a heart attack. I was like how can they effing do that? Flipping flop Batman!

I'll have to more clearly mark such things as satire. I thought my choice of words would give away the fact that this is just something silly. I will do a better job marking this in the future, Susan. Most of my posts are very serious, so I should distinguish satirical posts.

I thought it was obviously a joke. So much so that I immediately made a note to send it to cricket to be enshrined along with all the other clever exmo cartoonery.

What does it say about the Mormon Church though that as with so many other things satirical posts and articles as well as many jokes are **so close** to its reality that so often it's hard for readers to tell the difference. In fact, that makes these things even funnier.

Don't feel too bad, Janitor. This happens quite often. I guess with such a serious development as this court case, we have to be vigilant to hand out just the facts (ma'am) in order to keep things straight.

Still, a very funny idea. Sometimes it feels that marking 'satire' or 'joke' in the sub line wrecks the punch line but sometimes it's a necessity to do it.

Carry on. :)

Judge: "Sir, who are you?"

Peterson: "Your honor, I'm Professor Daniel Peterson of Brigham Young University, and I'm here to represent President Monson."

Judge: "DUDE!!! YOU TOTALLY LOOK LIKE MR. POTATO HEAD! BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I'm sorry, there will be a recess while I attempt to compose myself."

Lol! I never thought of that, but it's totally true!

He is in fact, a decent family man. Like many of us, he goes home every night to his spouse and children and does his best to provide for them.

He knows many here tease him and he is strong enough to take it and to dish it back. I have my issues with some of the condescending things he says, but in many ways I do respect him.

Hee hee! This made me snortlaugh, picturing the British judge in his wig and robe. (Do they still wear the little powdered wigs?)

DP's bumper sticker:
"I brake for donuts."

Every Member a Janitor: thank you for making that your name. That is all. haha

If Monson sent Danny we would hear "Off with his head" for sure!

Funny joke.

But he might as well send a flaming bag of poo

Poe's Law.

Mr Potato Head.

Too funny Randy.

sarcasm went undetected, posters were annoyed, the true intent behind the post was revealed.


...and that parakeet became her companion for the rest of her life!

And then he could say to the judge in his most serious tone:

"It is wrong to criticize the leaders of the church, even if that criticism is true. Now. May I be excused?"

I am going to ask this here. Who pays for the trip and hotel? and provides the visa in this type of case? and could sending a proxi put the proxi in danger of a crime? Just wondering.
