Utah Jokes So Bad, They’re Actually Good

I've spent about 40 of my 57 years on this planet residing in the great state of Utah.

I went to college in Utah (BYU and Utah State), got married in Utah (Jordan River Temple) and had five kids in this state (one in Logan, the other four in St. George). I even own a burial plot here.

So I feel like I can make jokes -- even make fun -- of this great state and have most people understand that they are just jokes. So no hate here, just some good old-fashioned fun.

There is undeniable proof that Jesus has come back to live among us in the flesh.” The staff erupts in celebration. Their joy is manic. They have never been so happy. When they finally calm down, someone says, “Father, our prayers have been answered! It’s beyond wonderful. How could there be any bad news with this? The Pope replied, “The telegram was sent from Salt Lake City.”
