Examples Of Humor In The Book Of Mormon

[Doctor Steuss]

Curtis [Wright, a graduate assistant for Hugh Nibley] one time came into Hugh's office and found him there absorbed in reading the Book of Mormon and laughing. Wright asked Hugh what was so funny, and Hugh replied that he had found an error in the Book of Mormon. "You did, huh?" Wright responded. "Yes," Hugh stated and handed the scriptures to Wright pointing to Alma 42:10 which says that "man is carnal, sensual and devilish." "What's the matter with that?" demanded Wright. Hugh responded, "They left out stupid."

Well this thread is certainly revealing. Some people on this board are exceptionally fun and some are, well, not so much.

Alma 55:32

"And they were thus cautious that no poison should be administered among them; for if their wine would poison a Lamanite it would also poison a Nephite; and thus they did try all their liquors."

That's some great logic there.
