Gold Standard:
Walking into my NT class today I overheard, "have you actually read The Book of Mormon?! It's a mess!" I say, "who cares! It was delivered on plates of pure gold! That's gotta be worth something in some market somewhere!"

Savings v. Investment:
When I returned from the restroom (yes, there is actually one on that floor!) they had moved on to Jehovah's Witnesses. The conversation quickly devolved into who was right and who was wrong, and all sorts of "what if..." scenarios, and who's going to Hell, Purgatory, Paradise; who will be saved and who will not, and how long will you have to wait...Welcome to Seminary.

A wise man (well, a professor anyway...) once said: "Every seminarian thinks s/he can change the world. Every minister knows s/he can't."
