Grocery Store God

I like that the uniform for clerks at the QFC is short-sleeved button down shirts with black ties.

When I see them on their breaks or going home, they look like fallen Mormons, smoking up a storm while furrowing their pierced eyebrow in angst, or scowling on their way to the car, six-pack in hand, after a hard day of stocking celery.

It's like Jehovah has just been asking too much and all they want is to lead a simple life of clerking and drinking and fucking, but still feel all this guilt about leaving the temple.

Or, you know, not.

Another queer uniform is DFL's delivery men's red and yellow outfits. They look like refugees from Der Weinerschnitzel. Why didn't DHL take a hint from UPS?

Mormons don't believe in Jehovah. They think Jesus is God not Jehovah.

I still think Indiana Jones had it right...Remember? In the Last Crusade? "The name of God...Jehovah."

Eh, semantics.

Hilarious post, though.

Eh, you got me — turns out I don't know much of anything about the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

FWIW, wikipedia sez: "Latter-day Saints believe that Jehovah was the name of the pre-mortal Jesus Christ, and that he is a distinct being from God the Father, whom Latter-day Saints sometimes refer to as Elohim."

. . . which I don't quite get, but maybe I'll look into that further. In the meantime, generally speaking, I try not to let "facts" get in the way of my imagination.

the mormons try to not wear the short sleeve shirts, as us heathans might see their "garments".
No shit.
