I accidentally stole a copy of the Book of Mormon

Yeah, I know. Been just dying to read what happens between the Lamanites and Nephites or whatever the hell they are called.
On a recent visit to the Los Angeles area, we stayed in a hotel that had a copy of the BoM in the nightstand. Never one to miss an opportunity for comedy, I opened and randomly read bits to my GF and kids; to everyone's great amusement.
I then threw the BoM at my GF for sassin' me and forgot about it.
On arrival back home, what do I see in her suitcase? The infernal Book had followed us home! Like a mangy dog with three legs. Not even as cute; not by a long shot.
Now, my sweet GF gets to hear even more "And so it happened" and "And it came to pass" blah, blah and yada yada. Looks like 50-70% of every sentence starts with "And".
As Mark Twain said, "chloroform in print". Maybe he didn't see the humor in it. Damn straight-laced guy that he was.
Do you think it's a sign from The Ruling Council of Kolob? Perhaps my raving atheist of a GF has become a closet Mormon?
On reading excerpts, if truly a convert, I would expect her eye-rolling would tone down a bit though.
The funniest bit was probably in the beginning where there is a "certification" that the contents of the book were actually translated by old Joe, and they *swear* they ain't lying. No siree bob. We ain't! We swears it!
Uh huh.
