About Me
- Arie Van De Graaff
- Since 2009, I've posted silly little gags to this website twice a week. My work has been featured in the New Era, For the Strength of the Youth, and The Friend (for some reason, I have yet to crack the Liahona). Between 2014 and 2016, my comic strip Mission Daze was featured in the Deseret News (back when newspapers were still a thing). I've published a plethora of activity books (links for which you can find on this page). Please stay a while and enjoy.
Comments, complaints, or questions? Feel free to email me.

Now That I Am Baptized
Someone was once asked to speak, stood up and said "Brothers and Sisters, do you know what I'm going to say?" They replied "No". The speaker said, "Neither do I" and left the podium. The Bishopric member who assigned talks said that this wouldn't do and gave him another talk for the following week.
ReplyDeleteNext week, the speaker arose and said "Brothers and Sisters, do you know what I'm going to say?" The congregation, remembering the week before, said "Yes" to which the response was "Well, in that case there's no point in me saying it." And he left the podium once more.
Still unhappy, the Bishopric gave him a final chance. He got up and asked "Brothers and Sisters, do you know what I'm going to say?" By now baffled, some of the congregation said "Yes" and some said "No".
"In that case," said the speaker, "Those of you who know can tell those of you who don't" and he sat down.
He was never asked to speak again.
