The High Council Talk


I've been gone 24 hours and I return to all this heavy stuff.  I think it is
time for another joke:

While I was in Florida recently a plane was hi-jacked and the hi-jackers took
the plane to a deserted island that had an old WW2 runway still intact.
 Among the passengers taken were some LDS people.  The hi-jackers contacted
church headquarters and tried to get a large sum of money for ransom.

They were furious when they received word that the GA would not deal with
hi-jackers hoping to extort money.  So they gathered up the three LDS people
(a Relief Society president, High Counselman, and elder) and told them they
were going to shoot them.

The Relief Society president asked if they would allow her one last wish.
 The hi-jackers said what is it?  RS pres said she would like to do one more
act of compationate service before dying, so they said okay they would let
her.  Then the High Counselman said he would like to make one more speech
before dying.  So they agreed that he could do that.

Then they came to the elder and asked if he had any dying wishes, "Yes," he
said,
"Would you kill me before he starts talking?"
