"you have a good sense of humor, but not everyone sees it"
"you tend to think about things before taking action"

Get the Barnum Statementmug. A nickname for a Member of any one of the Mormon sects LDS, FLDS or RLDS.
The name comes from the belief that God lives on a heavenly Body (a planet... or star!) called Kolob.
The reference is from Joseph Smith Junior's writings called 'The Book Of Abraham, which is part of the Mormon canon of scripture
The modern Mormon church doesn't mention Kolob much as the whole thing is a source of embarrassment, hence the nickname Kolobian is quite hurtful to mainstream mormons
