Utah School Board Rejects "Cougar" Mascot As Offensive To Older Women

[Hotdoger]

No, you cannot have 14 wives. You may, however, have 1.

Polygamy is a mischaracterization of the position of LDS.

Maybe he was just going with Joseph Smith, Jr.

Polygamy is a mischaracterization of the position of LDS.

Enforcement of the 1890 Manifesto caused various splinter groups to leave the LDS Church in order to continue the practice of plural marriage.[63] Polygamy among these groups persists today in Utah and neighboring states as well as in the spin-off colonies. Polygamist churches of Mormon origin are often referred to as "Mormon fundamentalist" even though they are not a part of the LDS Church. Such fundamentalists often use a purported 1886 revelation to John Taylor as the basis for their authority to continue the practice of plural marriage.[64] The Salt Lake Tribune stated in 2005 there were as many as 37,000 fundamentalists with less than half of them living in polygamous households.[65]

A little tidbit for you from Wikipedia. Thanks for the effort though.

In 1984, I was on a band trip to New York City. I was in one of the gift shops below the World Trade Center and the cashier asked where I was from. I told her Indiana. She says, " Oh! Isn't that the HOSER state?"

The song " Take Off " by Bob and Doug McKenzie was really popular at that time!

I heard it came from a bar fight where somebody had lost an ear, and the bartender picked it up and asked "Whos ear!?"
