A bit of Religious Humor:

I was visiting with a Mormon friend of mine the other day, when there was a knock at his door. Standing there was a very friendly man about my age, with his 6-year-old son in tow. He and his family were new to the area, and they were visiting local members of the Church, and giving out homemade cookies.
After the man left, my friend and I were devouring the cookies when I asked him, “Hey, if I eat these Mormon Cookies, do I become one?”

He responded, “No, you don’t. But if I ate a Catholic Cookie, would I become Catholic?”

“Yes!” I replied. “That’s the whole point!”

I don't get it.
Which is no surprise as there is much that just flies "over my head." (Being the scarecrow with the stick up my a$$)
Could you coast down and land on my shoulder & exlain.

Mormans! I Like'em! Wonderful religion to visit but I couldn't live there.

As per your usually, Doug, you hit the nail squarely on the head. Mormons are, by and large, wonderful people and they make good cookies too.

During a Catholic Mass, the Priest will bless the Eucharist, or host (small, cookie-looking wafers.) Parishioners then receive the host. It’s called Communion. This is meant to represent the body of Jesus, per Matthew 26:26 – “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom."
My joke had to do with the Eucharist looking like a cookie. The act of receiving the Communion at a Catholic Mass is pretty much the whole point of going, besides the whole “Thanks Jesus, for dying for my sins” and stuff. And now that I had to explain it, it’s not funny anymore.

Communion!

Now why didn't I remember that.
Sorry for making you 'splain it Chase.
I could F'up a wet dream, I tell ya.

I'll just go sit in the corner and hit my head with my tennis shoe repeating,"That was my SKULL Dude."

Perhaps it was delivery that was the problem? Or my timing? Or maybe it just isn't that funny.

I'll work on it.

Chase, it certainly was funny, even after you had to explain it.

Dougman, my dad used to tell me that I could F'up a wet dream. Are we related somehow? :P
