Utah Census Form

I got this one in an email from my second mom, Sharon.
I don't live in Utah, but a lot of these things still apply to me.
For my non LDS readers, please recognize this as one of the ways we Mormons laugh at ourselves.

Admit it, you'd go to the football game, wouldn't you?

hmmmm, here are my thoughts:
4-I love that high priest is listed after dearly departed, but if the person is departed then they aren't really there are they?
5- What about pampered chef and MaryKay?
9- what about the diaper bag and bag of tricks to keep your husband-oops, I mean kids,entertained during Sacrament Meeting?
11- I've never seen anyone with a big gulp at church- have you?
14- What about the 32nd?

I enjoyed reading this.

I have never seen anyone at church with a big gulp and I am glad to hear that you haven't either.
I was wondering if the "Utah Mormon" culture was taking on new customs that I wasn't aware of.
I do take a bottle of water regularly, and have been guilty of drinking cherry pepsi at church. But only when I had a bad headache.
And it was from a 20oz. bottle that I had bought previously -not on Sunday.
