On Mennonites

So, I recently have come across a number of people who are unfamiliar with Mennonite things and have, incorrectly, called me Mennonite. I have been blessed with a connection with a Mennonite church, Mennonite camp and many Mennonite(ish) friends. Through them, I have learned to love and cherish Mennonitisms.

There are many fun expressions that come with them, "Cheap like borscht" being one of them. I had another, but it just slipped away right as I was going to type it. Oh well.

I found some sites with Menno jokes that I figured would be interesting. I've selected a few for if you're too lazy to go to the sites:

Q. What is a Mennonite ethical dilemna? A. Free dance lessons.

Q. Why don't Mennonite women wear sleeveless dresses? A. They aren't allowed to bare arms

Q. How do you know Adam was a Mennonite? A. Who else could stand beside a naked woman and be tempted by a fruit?

Q. Why do Mennonites never make love standing up? A. It might lead to dancing.

Anyways, I really just wanted to share the Mennonite love around because they are near and dear to my heart. And, I visited (what I consider the Mennonite capital) Steinbach, MB this Christmas to attend the wedding of my friend Heidi, from whom I heard many, many Mennonite jokes. It was quite the excitement in my life. Please don't comment on how boring my life must be if Steinbach brought so much excitement.
