Here is a conversation I had at work last night as I was trying to buy a caffeinated beverage:
[I set my Red Bull on the counter]
CO-WORKER: Um, what is this?
ME: I need some caffeine and regular soda gives me a tummy ache. [This is true.]
CO-WORKER: But aren't you LDS? [So is he.]
ME: Yeah...
CO-WORKER: Well, you aren't supposed to have caffeine.
ME: Hey, they never specifically said "caffeine." It's open to interpretation.
CO-WORKER: "Substances that alter the mind or body..." and Red Bull "gives you wings!" [Hooray for advertising, right?]
ME: Like angels?
CO-WORKER: Angels don't have wings.
ME: You can't lie to me. I know they do because I saw it on TV.
CO-WORKER: What? Like, Touched By an Angel?
ME: If it's on TV or the internet, I know it's true. Why else would they put it on there?
CO-WORKER: [Rolling eyes] Here's your receipt.
ME: I can't help it if I'm so spiritual.
Checkmate.

Hahahahaha. You really are pretty spiritual. This is like when I argued that animals had to have spirits because I saw it on All Dogs Go to Heaven. :) It's really sound logic.
LOL...you're like my hero! Too funny!
