Snobbery, or the art of looking down on others, is a fine skill in some circles. Nowhere is snobbery more evident than among mission leaders who are also fly fishermen. There is something about being dressed in expensive chest waders, vest by L.L. Bean, carrying a wicker fishing creel and a graphite fly rod to make one look down on missionaries who are simply wearing a suit and a pair of Rockport shoes. These non-fly fishing missionaries are rightly suspected as being nothing but worm dunking, lure licking bait fishermen.

Recent biblical research has indicated that among the "plain and precious things" left out of the Bible during the apostasy (the apostasy is more correctly referred to as the long dark night of the bait fishermen) is that the correct translation of Matthew 4:19 is: "... Follow me and I will make you fly-fishers of men." Peter, chief of the apostles, had the finest pair of chest waders on the Sea of Galilee. Peter never fished with nets as suggested in the Gospels, (another perversion of scripture by King James, a notorious bait fisherman) - he only landed fish with them after they had been hooked on a #14 Royal Coachman fly.

The following information should be read carefully as it may very well be vital to your success as a photo-missionary. Milford Poltroon (from that part of Montana where nobody ever goes) offerred the following advice relative to the use of cameras by missionaries.

How to cope with evil spirits that lurk in cameras
The belief that evil spirits lurk in cameras is not confined to certain tribes along the Wasatch Front, but is shared by aborigines in the Australian Outback, jungle folk of Tasmania, and an estimated 37.2% of the inhabitants of St. Louis, MO. Exhaustive research into the matter has concluded that only the earliest instamatic cameras, all Leicas made prior to 1921, and the Farkel 50mm camera with the f1.4 wide angle lens have evil spirits. All other cameras are 100% safe and may be used in photographing other missionaries as long as care is taken to not aim the camera directly at the face of the missionary. This is because the research may not be entirely correct and some evil spirits may still be hanging around, ready to pounce on a missionary as soon as a camera is shoved into his face.

All missionaries are asked to study the photograph above showing Elder Douglas Taylor in the correct position to photograph his Mission President's wife.

Reputable Bible scholars, such as the Editor of this illustrative (and illustrated) Intergalactic Missionary Newsletter have uncovered irrefutable evidence that the Book of Job was written over a long weekend and originally intended to be presented as a Road-Show, rather than in book form. The original Hebrew script was severely edited when it was decided to publish the Book of Job rather than play it on stage in Ninevah.  One of the great songs cut from the original was this one.
