Yup.

Grifter: “Hey, wanna be really shitty and make some quick money off of other people’s misfortune?”

Mormon: “Okay…you have my attention, go on.”

Grifter: “Well, you know when someone gets really hurt and is going to obtain a settlement for their injuries? Often times they have huge medical bills they need to pay now. We will lend them money and charge insanely gouging interest rates to profiteer off of their misfortune while they wait for their settlement checks to arrive, which can take years.”

Mormon: “Oh, interesting, what do you charge for interest? Ten percent? That’s why I tithe to Heavenly Father for all he gives me!”

Grifter: “Oh frig no. More like fifty percent! Now…can I count on you to write us a hundred thousand dollar check so we can lend it to injured people in a very un-Christlike way?”

Mormon: “I was thinking more like a million. Can I tell my friends about this too? They would be interested.”

Grifter “Bless you Brother Levi, and make sure to tithe the church 10% of your profits”

Mormon: “I sure will. Heavenly Father would be very proud of what we are doing here.”
