Unitarian Universalist Jokes

I was raised a UU, and even in 2nd grade I needed to come up with a quick summary of what UU’s believe, so I started telling friends it Unitarianism was like believing all the religions rolled into one. That seemed sufficient, most kids what stop asking questions at that point. Even now when discussing any religions with friends I use my updated version, “I was raised a Unitarian so i’m equally ignorant of all religions'”

As part of my ongoing quest to try to figure out what it is that I do believe, and what it means to be a UU, I have been collecting UU jokes over the years from e-mails, newsgroups and now websites. I’ve had a page on my website with these for years, I just figure it’s time to move that part of my site in here. I also edited it and added a few new ones that I’ve heard in the past few years.

There are lots more UU jokes out there now, in fact there are several websites that have more UU jokes.
