A few years ago I was channel surfing and came across Sister Dew introducing GA Merrill Bateman at a BYU Women's Conference in 1997.
She said, and I quote:
"President Bateman's list of accomplishments is as long as my leg and, as you can see, that's pretty long."
She paused, cleared her throat, raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled--but there was virtually no reaction from the audience.
For one thing, the audience couldn't even see Sister Dew's leg, since she was standing behind a podium and, moreover, what kind of kinky-kooky Mormon fantasy world does the pent-up Sister Dew live in, where she's imagining people gawking at her leg?
It was bizarre--and should have prompted a bishop's interview, on the spot.

As long as her leg, huh? I'm wondering if she had a different piece of anatomy in mind, maybe something of 'President' Bateman's... single broads need action just like any one else.
I'm trying to imagine me saying that to a bishop or sp when I was single.
All hell would have broke loose.
I do have to say that it wouldn't have occurred to me to say something like that. Especially in a talk to a Mormon audience. I'm trying to imagine my parents in the audience. They would have been mortified.
Not to mention that there hasn't ever been a Mormon Male leader that would ever have prompted those thoughts, let alone saying them in a talk. What in the hell was she thinking? She obviously needed to get laid by someone in the lay ministry.
I really think living to that age never having had sex (I think in her case that is a reasonable assumption - doubt she was much of a tramp in her younger years) has a profound impact on a person. We are not meant to be sexless beings. My bitchy sister in law is living proof of that!
I know I may get flamed for this but many years ago I use to wait tables. She was a regular customer and always really nice. Its too bad her beliefs don't match her personality.
