If you need a good laugh today!

It just doesn't get any better than this!

What do you call a 94 year old man who vacations at church history sites, while regularly wearing a designer suit and tie, with a trophy wife holding a red designer purse, a cell phone, and thinks she might need to leave the room at any moment? A Mormon Prophet!

What do you call an old table with a replica of a manuscript, a bundle of gold plates under a sheet, in an old cabin? A Mormon History Site!

What do you call the hat on the table? A Mormon conduit to revelation!



Ask your TBM loved ones why modern day prophets don't use the seer stone in any of their hats?

Why? Because it's a rock in a hat!

Think about it....

A rock in a hat dictates spiritual guidance and revelation from God!

A Rock..... In a hat!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

♫ There must have been some magic in that old silk hat Joe found... ♫

I have wondered at times if it was the actually hat which was magic and not the rock, that produced the magic glowing words, that became the most correct book on earth, which has been changed thousands of times.

(Golly. I wonder what people who weren't born into a cult think about when their mind wanders. Ha, ha, ha? )

I’m trying not to remember this stuff, thankyouverymuch!

Sister Nelson may be MUCH younger than him, but "Trophy Wife"? Uhhh, only in the everyone-gets-a-trophy league.

Typical apologetic position. Attack the definition of Trophy and ignore the evidence.

Use your spiritual eyes! She's a trophy!

He is her trophy. She hit the Mormon jackpot when she married him.

From the Rock in the Hat Song

In English, rock, hat, In French, roche, chapeau.
It really is quite obvious, don't you know.
In English, rock, hat. In French, roche, chapeau.
Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, here we go.

In Samoan its a papa in a pulou,
In Uzbek its a jinslar in a shapka.
And its oh so true!

The photo just needs a thought bubble over Nelson's head - as he glares at that hat.

It's a very solemn glare. It actually looks posed to me. Maybe he's overwhelmed by all the magic emanating from that old silk hat. Perhaps he wants to place it on his head and dance around?

Question: did they used to have some sort of “urim and thummin” (sp) contraption on the table at this site? And did they recently replace it with a hat
(w/o Russ’ permission )
Also, honest question, is there a rock in the hat?

I truly do not know uf anything is in that hat. I'm guessing there is actually nothing in that hat because there are way too many questions that would arouse.

The thing I notice is that the hat is the same color as the papers and the cloth covering the "plates". It's also on a light colored table. It seems like whoever set up this display wanted the hat to be overlooked as easily as possible while still being present. Notice also that a white top hat is not in any church history picture nor any old time, 19th century photograph that I know about. Joseph Smith is pretty much never shown in any hat at all. This hat is weirdly out of place and I simply don't expect "Joseph with his face in a hat" to be in the next batch of pictures for the Primary teachers in your local ward. This hat is only grudgingly in this display.

I believe this is a "new" visitors center so the entire display is new. No "Urim and Thummim" replacement took place. It was "kinda" a big deal when they created the display, because it is a bit more honest than LDS-Inc. has ever been.

Don't know if there's a rock in the magic hat. I doubt it.

I think it's Cogdis all over his old face! How many of us had that same look as we pulled on all the threads and had that "Oh $hit, are you kidding me?!" moment?

I think she's cute. She looks a lot happier when she's with Sherri though.

^^ He looks like he's thinking the f-bomb for the first time in his life! And Wendy is thinking: "that rock I made with the glow-in-the-dark message 'give women the priesthood' better f@#%ing fit in that hat!"

My first impression was she just reprimanded him & he’s not sure how to respond but he isn’t happy.
