The Other 13 Articles of Faith

1. We believe that elders should move pianos, washers, dryers and several 50 pound bags of storage wheat through narrow hallways, tight door jams and at least one flight of stairs.

2. We believe that the Relief Society is called to provide meals for the needy. We do not believe that the priesthood cook for anyone, except missionaries, and then its limited to ordering pizza.

3. We believe in tuna casserole with stale cracker or old potato chip topping, served in a Tupperware dish with a piece of masking tape on the bottom the reads Jones, Smith or Brown. And as a side dish we believe that green Jell-O with shaved carrot topping should be served at all church functions including funerals.

4. We believe that women should stop having children at 35, because 36 is too many.

13. We believe in kicking our sons out of the house at 19 year old, sending them to a foreign country like Chili, Japan, New Jersey or Missouri for two years, and telling the them that they will return better men because of it. While at the same time, sending them dozens of stale cookies and wasting postage by mailing one shoe at a time. We also believe in sending young women away for 18 months when they turn 21, as long as they are not engaged to be married.
