As someone who frequently feels fangirly, I'm glad to see it happens to you too! And congrats.
I've got to admit I don't hear a lot of "light bulb" jokes at church, but I found this one:
Q: How many Mormons does it take to change a light bulb?
A: If it's Relief Society, it takes four. One to fix refreshments, one to bring the tablecloth, one to design the centerpiece, and one to screw in the light bulb.
If it's the Bishopric, forget it, they don’t do light bulbs. They call a Priesthood Executive Council and delegate it to the Elders.
If it's the Elders, it takes four. Three that don’t show up, and one to change the bulb.
If it's the High Priests, it takes four. Two to push the wheel chairs, one to handle the oxygen tank, and one to screw in the light bulb.
If it's the Home Teachers, it only takes two, but you have to wait until the end of the month.
Paul,
You asked what my Wiccan friend is afraid of. Not a literal burning at the stake of course, but a social one. She's afraid that she would not be allowed to be a girl scout troop leader anymore, that her kids would be ostracized, that kind of thing.
Paul said: I hate to break it to you, but (these days at least) nobody actually cares whether you're a witch or not. ;-)
Not entirely true. I have a dear friend in the 'burbs of Houston whose biggest fear is being outed. It depends on the community, some are more open-minded than others.
This seems like a good rule of thumb but there are always going to be people in any church or organization who can't stand to poke fun at themselves.
