Book Summary
When something unintentionally funny happens in church, how many of us pretend not to notice? Not Ed Snow, who's here to remind us of a BYU coed who -- in front of thousands of students -- mispronounced a beloved church leader's name in a way that was "humorous, if you have a juvenile sense of humor". Ed continues: "No one laughed, but there was plenty of feigned coughing and everyone smiled so wide their faces hurt afterward". A gifted raconteur, Snow recalls from his mission days in Europe being treated to a beef-tongue dinner by a grateful convert. He told himself to make the best it, since this would be as close as he would probably ever be to an authentic "gift of tongues" experience. Snow's anecdotes about Sunday school prove that Mormons are the same the world over. Like the rest of us, he catches participants passing off Yogi Berraisms as scripture, while the others sleep.
