The fake story is more fun.

I was out running some quick errands and as I walked down a dark street, I saw several Mormons in a circle by an idling mini-van. I heard some inaudible voices, but then a stern voice was clear.

“So how many kids do you you have?”

The reply was inaudible.

“And they’re all married?”
“And they’re all married?”

I thought it sounded a bit mysterious and even a little ominous, but it was just my friend Bill’s big brother, who has always had a stern sounding voice. And that’s why I knew they were Mormons.


Hmm. I just found out South Park was about a Mormon family moving into town. Oh, well. Synchronicity.
