There are so many funny Mormon Word of Wisdom stories.

My dear Swedish grandmother used to wait until grandfather (the bishop) went out to the fields. She would then brew a cup of coffee in a sauce pan. All my fathers sisters laugh and giggle every time we have a family reunion as none of them are stalwarts in the church and love to tell that story.

It was funny the time they caught me drinking at the Elks Club, right after I returned from my mission in 1963. I was their favorite nephew from that day on. Recently I sang at the funeral for one of the husbands.

My mormon mother-in-law, the one who kept a pitcher of ice tea in the refrigerator because the WOW said hot drinks, used to make barley beer every holiday time...she always had to set aside a gallon for the bishop...many times I got tipsy on that beer, but it was OK because it didn't come from a liquor store. ;o)
