In fact, even "sympathizing" with a polygamist sect if grounds to lose your privilege to enter a Mormon temple.

    There are fringe groups whose ancestors were LDS who still practice polygamy. They are a small minority of the population in the mountain west. Unfortunately, they are the ones usually on the news.

    Oh, and I only have one wife, and it will stay that way.)
    I travel for work all over the United states and Utah is one of my favorite places to go, because of guys like you. I always said that Mormons are the best people on earth, and Mormon backsliders are the second best people. They are just as honest and funny and hard working, they just like to have a little more fun.

    Someone call Bad Water Bill. HE will have the best pronunciation, if we can figure out how to read what he writes.

    And, Brad, they are all out behind the barn laughing at us trying to figure this out.

    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

    azrednek,
    Mate I think the rules are that you can have as many wives as you can look after, not as many wives as it takes to look after you. If it were that way, it would be worth putting up with the nagging, hen pecking, etc.

    About the poly-whatsy-rifling, I am affraid that I just went eeny, meeny, miney, moe. You lot have such bad accents I don't know what the heck your on about. People keep telling me that you Yanks speak English, but I have yet to see any evidence to support that claim.

    My Appalachian take on it isn't in the poll, because they all start with Paw. I say the first syllable as "Puh"
