Here is a cute story about that: I took my 16 year old son out to a site in Idaho, where there was a "Mormon Cricket" invasion. As we were looking out our car window at the deep layer of crawling crickets, he asked, "How can you tell that they're Mormon crickets? I answered, "Well, you pick them up, turn them over and look for the funny little markings on their undergarments." The pantyline reason was my favorite.

What about all the Diet Pepsi faithful, and those who eschew all artifical sweeteners, yet worship at the altar of caffeinated optimism. In the era of openess in our faith, let us be more inclusive: "You can tell a good Mormon by the temperature of his caffeine." Re Craig: You are too restrictive.
