That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

If this baby is a boy, I will have it done.
Also, "intactivists" are some of the whiniest, shrillest, most annoying activists out there, rivaled only by "lactivists."

A man is walking painfully out of a clinic when he meets a friend coming in.
- "Good grief, man!" - says the friend, - "You look like you're in a world of hurt! What, if you don't mind my asking, did you have done here?"
- "Well, my wife absolutely insisted, so I had the doctor castrate me."
- "My God, man! That's really extreme!"
- "Yeah, I thought so too, but—well, my wife did insist, so. . . . If you don't mind my asking, what are you here for?"
- "Similar, I guess. My wife insists that I be circumcised."
- "Circumcise! THAT's the word she said!"
