Mormons, you so crazy

[_Doctor Steuss]

Pioneer Camp, Wednesday, May 26, 1847

To Marshall O.P. Rockwell:

Sir – You are hereby commanded to bring, wherever found, the body of Col. George Mills, before the Right Reverend Bishop [Edson] Whipple, at his Quarters, there to answer to the following charge, viz.: -- That of emitting in meeting on Sunday last, a sound, a posteriori, (from his seat of honor) somewhat resembling the rumble of distant thunder, or the heavy discharge of artillery, thereby endangering the steadiness of the olfactory nerves of those present as well as diverting their minds from the discourse of the speaker.

Letter to Rockwell for a mock trial while the Saints were traveling (around the time they reached Chimney Rock). As cited in Schindler’s biography of OPR, Second Edition, pg. 157. Original in possession of the LDS Church Historical Department.

Uh-huh.

...the rumble of distant thunder, or the heavy discharge of artillery...

...the complaint of a duck being stepped upon, the barking of a spider.

it was funny a few hours ago when I read it over on the other board - although it was dificult for me to see the humor at first, most threads on that board start with something absurd, and get worse as the page count grows. I was only waiting for some mopologist to come up with the amazing speaking in tounges with thunderous power parallell

it is still funny - I guess a good barking spider joke never gets old.. Thanks
