Sense of Humor Test

Once in a while we get to have a good laugh.  Here's a recent one:

One of the saddest things that can happen to a young Elder is that of receiving a "Dear John" letter from his girl friend back home.  She has awakened to the fact that two years without dating is crazy -- and she writes a letter to break the news to him as best she can.

This happened to one of our missionaries recently.  He was really broken up about it.  This is what he said, "President, I just received a John Deere letter."

I knew what he meant (Dear John, not John Deere), and I expressed great empathy for his sad situation.

But my mind immediately began examining the interesting ideas of a John Deere letter:

"Dear Missionary,

Congratulations.  Your name was drawn out of a hat and you are the winner of a brand new John Deere.  Please call us so that we can deliver it as soon as possible!"
