How would you improve this "Pastor Joke" so as not to be offensive to Mormons?

Question

Daddy is out plowing the field on his tractor and his young son runs out to the field and says: “Daddy the pastor is here.”



Daddy: Which one?



Son: I don’t know.



Daddy: Well, go back to the house and find out. If it is the Presbyterian Pastor, offer him a drink. If it’s the Methodist Pastor, same thing - offer him a drink.



Son: OK



Daddy: But, if it’s the Baptist Pastor, hide the liquor and the cigarettes.



Son: OK



Daddy: And, if it’s the Mormon Pastor, sit on your mama’s lap and stay there.

Answer 1

Quite amusing, and I don't take offense to it. (I'm Mormon). The joke does, however, perpetuate the myth that we're always looking for another wife regardless the authenticity that plural marriage is no longer practiced.

The jokes that we Mormons object to are those that poke fun at the Savior in any manner, shape, or form. Some call them "Jesus Jokes."

Added note to Kirsty: Check out Article 6 of the Articles of Faith. Mormons believe in having pastors too.

Answer 2

Mormons don't have Pastors.

Mormons have missionaries, home teachers, bishops, quorum presidents, stake presidents, mission presidents, quorums of the seventy, the quorum of the twelve apostles, and first presidency.

I would say choose missionary or home teacher instead of Pastor.

According to Mormons, Pastors are hirelings of Satan.
