Ha, Fool: A Loofah

I am currently wrestling with the moral implications of using a loofah scrub pad I bought at The Body Shop. Technically, sponges are classified in the Kingdom Animalia, which makes them animals. Realistically, they do not have nerve cells and are not "animals": sponges are a collective of colonial organisms, just like jellyfish or Mormons. In fact, if you take a living sponge and run it through a sieve so that the cells are all akimbo, it can reassemble itself (not so much with a Mormon, and you will get in bad trouble if you try. Don't ask how I know). This one is a real dilly of a pickle for me. So, like most Americans, I am content to let other people give me the answers. What do you guys think?

I think the Mormon comments are really tacky and uncalled for. I am so tempted to send the missionaries to your house.

Why would you do that, Rachel? You already know what he'll do to them when they arrive.

As for the loofah question, I would go for it and scrub away any feelings of oppression of our animalian brothers.

Good point. I guess I shouldn't even give the Rabid Rabbit an opportunity to seduce those poor missionaries. I know he's been wanting a pair of their holy underwear though.

I can resist the holy/holey joke, I know I can.

What did I say? Oh, it was the thing about running them through a sieve, wasn't it? As for the drawers: I am having such a hard time choosing between "I gave myself to Jesus and now he never calls" and "This Bush has a 100% approval rating". Potential dark horse undies: "Go Fuck Yourself!" with the picture of (the biggest Dick) Cheney on the front. Of course, there is little possiblity of that since that is one Dick I don't want within a thousand miles of my special area.
