As a Mormon I was once asked if we keep goats in our churches and sacrafice them on Sunday. Which is of course not true. The guy then asked me why our churches were so big and was very excited to learn that there was a basketball court inside.
I've also been asked if our parents really cut off horns from our heads when we're born. It's really wild the things that people get into their heads.

That they all believe in polygamy. Also, that they plan to take over the country by controlling Taco Bell, KFC, and Pepsi. That cracks me up. :)
In my experience, Mormons are some of the kindest, most Christ-like people I've known. They may have unorthodox beliefs, but those beliefs give them strength of character.

I'm Mormon. Years ago, in high school, my friend asked me if we dig up dead bodies to baptize them. I laughed out loud.
What we actually do is baptisms by proxy so that those who have passed away, before having the opportunity to be baptized by priesthood authority have a chance to receive their baptismal covenants if they choose to.
Once my boss told me that she used to think we had horns. Just to pull a fast one on her, I leaned forward and started parting my hair and said, "actually, they're pretty vestigial these days, but you can still see the bump where they used to be." It took her a few seconds of utter shock to figure out I was joking. I will never forget the look on her face! Priceless.

I have been a morman. I am no longer one but I do respect them. There are alot of their teachings that I really like. The one I disbelieve and the reason I am no longer a Morman is because I do not believe that one man (thier leader in Salt) is not wrong on doctrin. I beleive he is man just like all others.
