As some of you know I'm finishing my residency to be a psychologist. I meet weekly with various clinical supervisors to review my therapy cases. One one rotation I've been seeing some couples. Here was a recent conversation we had when we were discussing one couple's unorthodox religious beliefs.

him: "Hmm, weird stuff. What religion are they?"

me: "I'm not really sure. I think they attend an evangelical church."

him: [Very condescendingly] "What are they -- MOrmons?"

me: "Uh no. But I am."

him: [very long pause] "Oh."

awesome that you made him uncomfortable. I love exposing people like that.

Nice. Nothing like making a superior look like a bigoted jerk, eh?

I keep thinking you're crimedog, Padrino. It should be against the rules to use avatars that have been with well-known users for a long time.

Is this crimedog's avatar on the other site?

I change mine from time to time. Animal is one of my favorite muppets, so I'm giving him some face time.

Since danimal brought up awkward Mormon moments, I will share one of mine. In Memphis I wrote for a local fitness magazine. I was meeting with the editor who is extremely intelligent, even in Mensa, but lacks quite a bit on the social side. Anyway, I was talking to him about some articles we had coming up and it soon became obvious that he no longer was listening to me.

Me: I feel like I am talking to myself. Did you even hear what I just said to you?

Him: No, I'm sorry. I was just staring at your funny Mormon underwear.

Apparently from where he was sitting across from me in the room he could see right up my shorts.

That is hilarious. At least he was being honest.

Well, one of my good clients and friends, stated to me, before learning of my religion.

You know I hate religionists, but most of all I hate Mormons. F... Mormons.

"You know I'm Mormon."

Well F you too, you know I'm joking.

Of course, at least you can guide me through hell.

Okay, we're a little rougher crowd out here.

Would you ever kiss a stuffed animal of Animal?

No. While he is my favorite, he scares me. It's one fear I don't think I could ever conquer.

Lindsay: Well, did it work for those people? Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...but it might work for us.
