A few more from Garrison Keillor:

There are the folks in Lake Woebegon who have a big satellite dish and get 500 channels on their TV – including the surgery channel, the fishing channel, and the Unitarian Channel, which is what the fishing channel would be like if they didn’t actually put the fish hooks and lines in the water, but just sat around and discussed whether or not there really are fish.

A sign at the Unitarian church said: Bible study at 7:00. Bring your Bible and a pair of scissors.

Why is it dangerous to tick off a Unitarian? He might burn a question mark in your front lawn.

A bride went to her dressmaker and asked her to make a negligee for her honeymoon. She brought yards and yards and yards of fabric. The dressmaker asked, “What’s with all this material?” Her answer: “My husband is a Unitarian and he prefers searching to finding.”

What is the most moving part of a Unitarian service? Answer: When the members of the congregation stand and, in a single firm voice, recite the hypothesis.

I love how UUs have a great sense of humor about themselves. I'm a proud UU and loving it. I'll have to share your site with my congregation. Peace and happiness :) I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. I love how UUs have a great sense of humor about themselves. I’m a proud UU and loving it.

Answer: People who come to your door on a Saturday morning who have relatively little to say. Great joke and they didn't get it. I am not making this up! Years ago I heard a lecture which tangentially mentioned UU's rather positively so I did a web search on UU's and came upon UU jokes: about UU's by UU's. Told the story very well. I hope, as a staunch, polite philosophic atheist to meet a real UU some day to find out more about you guys.

My redneck bigot brother-in-law is afraid she's in a cult. Which is pretty funny since he hails from some weird, angry xtian sect that believes in demons, exorcism, and well-disciplined children.

I was looking for jokes for our next issue and found your site. Love them. When I get around to posting a blog on being a UU, I'll definitely post your link.
