Green Jello

I am a fan of parodies, such as the rewrites of the Articles of Faith on What Mormons Like. Its cliche, but so are most Mormons with the green jello and all.
12. We believe in being subject to scoutmasters, pampered chef hostesses, and the writers of the U.S. News and World Report Rankings for professional schools, and in obeying, honoring, and sustaining Glenn Beck.

13. We believe in being above average, good at crafts, optimistic, and being fifteen minutes late everywhere we go. Indeed, we may say that we follow BYU football. We believe rumors about famous people joining the church, we hope to meet the three Nephites, we have endured many pyramid schemes, and hope to be able to endure all pyramid schemes. If there is anything cheap, free, sold in bulk, or given away when somebody is moving, we seek after these things.

But it was my GMAT tutor who was not LDS, who last hit me up for a pyramid scheme.

I told him I was from Utah, I knew all about MLMs. He said "wait a minute, this one is from Utah."

And I said no.

The real Articles of Faith, are basically 13 statements that summarize what the LDS faith believes.
