Aw, c'mon Illbay. I didn't mean Pres. Hinckley no harm. Everyone who has seen him on Larry King or elsewhere knows he is too polite and dignified to actually use the phrase "Whop Ass."

But the lay Mormons aren't. I've got friends in southen Utah (best damn deer hunting country in the U.S.A.) and their use of mild profanity is both proper and imaginative. One of them even told me about a former Mormon leader named Golden Kimball whose gospel pronouncements laced with mild profanity were... absolutely Golden.

I think your guys would run the good ol' boys from the south a close contest as the most manly men in America. You're at least their equal on shootin'. They'll certainly outdrink you. But I'll bet your guys hunting deer could outcuss them.

Ah, so you've found out the secret of "J. Golden Kimball," a true "legend" among "Mormon" scatologists.

FWIW, I too have a very, very bad habit of "speaking in tongues" such that I would hope that Pres. Hinckley never gets wind of it.

But my objection is simply that the ORIGINAL subtitle (which I note has now been changed) was not really in keeping with the spirit of the message.

I wasn't offended, just kind of "uncomfortable".
