A quick witted prophetic response



Joseph Smith
When Joseph Smith was asked why he walked with his head hung down, what was his response?

 a.      His head was full and heavy

b.      Looking up leads to visions which leads to more concerns than he can deal with

c.       He always wanted to smell good and he can’t smell good looking up due to the horse and cattle droppings in Nauvoo streets

d.      Looking down is a form of submission. I submit to my people

Yesterday’s answer:

 (B)   They took their clothes off while herding cattle across the South Platte
Because the South Platte was flooding, the cattle balked at crossing the river, so Orley took off his clothes and jumped in the river to herd them across: “Bro. A. Stratton and myself had walked about 2 miles without anything on except a coat through a vast lot of wagons, meeting men, women and children” before he could retrieve his pants.
