I heard Elder McConkie tell this story about Pres. Joseph Fielding Smith on a cassette tape of talks given at the CES conference for Institute and Seminary teachers.
(Bruce R. McConkie married Joseph Fielding Smith's daughter, Amelia Smith. )
"My father-in-law told his children that in the beginning everyone had the surname Smith, but as people sinned, their names were changed."
I get the idea that Elder McConkie was quite a funny guy, when he wasn't speaking in General Conference. I've already posted another joke he made, also at a CES conference:
In verse 95, there is a prophecy:
"And there shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; and immediately after shall the curtain of heaven be unfolded, as a scroll is unfolded after it is rolled up, and the face of the Lord shall be unveiled."
Bruce R. McConkie said that verse proves that there are no women in heaven.
