There are a lot of "satire impaired," too.

I see it on this newsgroup with almost every post I make.

Baptist story:
I once dated a lady whose sister and brother-in-law were Baptist
missionaries. They came to town for the Thanksgiving holiday and I had an
opportunity to have the following conversation:

Me: "You're Baptist missionaries, right?"

Brother-in-law: "Right."

Me: "I mean you're professional missionaries. You get a paycheck from the
Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention - you're not just
passing out tracts on the street corner?"

BIL: "Right"

Me: "So let me ask: Why are you missionaries to Mexico? That's got to be the
most Christian country on the planet. Wouldn't you get more souls for the
buck if you were in Tanzania or Pago-Pago?"

BIL: "No. You see the Catholics in Mexico are not really Christians..."

One of the few times in my life I left a conversation totally bewildered.


I have them all in my family. One of my cousins on my father's branch of
the tree is a fairly well known Southern Baptist evangelist. He once
asked my mother if she was in The Mafia because Mom is from The Italian
side of the family. I even have Jewish cousins which is why I consider
everyone to my cousin.
