Wilford Woodruff – Humor in Adversity
We got up in the morning and walked in the rain twelve miles to the house of a man named Bemon, who was also one of the mob from Jackson County. They were about sitting down to breakfast as we came in.
In those days it was the custom of the Missourians to ask you to eat even if they intended to cut your throat as soon as you got through; so he asked us to take breakfast, and we were very glad of the invitation.
He knew we were “Mormons,” and as soon as we began to eat he began to swear about the “Mormons.” He had a large platter of bacon and eggs, and plenty of bread on the table, and his swearing did not hinder our eating, for the harder he swore the harder we ate, until we got our stomachs full; then we arose from the table, took our hats, thanked him for our breakfast, and the last we heard of him he was still swearing. I trust the Lord will reward him for our breakfast.

Its not that its a bad city. Its that its full of degenerate idiots. That may sound harsh but its just the facts. Also yeah antimaskers have taken over the city. Joplin is place where promaskers get more laugh and angry reacts than likes or hearts for spreading actual scientific facts. This town is hard set on pseudo science and city council sides with the idiots instead of listening to the advice of the doctors in and outside of the city. I wish people here had brain cells.
Also yeah seriously avoid Joplin, were about to become a hotspot for COVID in the state again because city council voted to disband the mask order.
Hannibal Regional Hospital will conduct a COVID Vaccination Clinic this Friday, April 9 from 1:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Sign up here: https://fs30.formsite.com/marketinghannibalhealthorg/April9/index.html
