Well, is hardly compares with being blinded by birds dropping dung into in your eyes while sleeping, then being attacked by a fish leaping out of the river to eat you, then burning its liver and heart to drive away a demon Asmodeus (to Upper Egypt) that keeps a women from consummating marriages, thus enabling you (the groom) to finally do so. A lesson in persistence that Mormons (who have their own fantasies) should like.
