Not True

"Baptists are only funny under water." Neil Simon.

We do, in some quarters have a reputation for being dour. When I was a child many Baptists I knew didn't watch television or movies, didn't smoke or drink, didn't dance, didn't play cards, didn't gamble. It was a long list. Some of these proscriptions are gone, some need to come back. It's not true that we're only funny under water. See below.

Why don't Baptists have sex standing up?
Someone might think we were dancing.
