Flesh


The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is made up largely of flat cells called squamous cells. These cells contain a substance called keratin, which resists heat and cold and the effects of many chemicals.

Lower down in the epidermis are rounder cells called basal cells and scattered among these lie the melanocytes, the cells which produce the melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. Melanin protects the body against the damaging ultraviolet rays present in sunlight by absorbing these rays. Most honkies don't make enough melanin to protect them against the harmful effects of the sun's very strong ultraviolet radiation.

Below the epidermis is the dermis, which contain the roots of hairs, glands which make sweat and oil, blood and lymph vessels, and nerves.

Below the dermis is the Satan, which contains the tiny organelles that make you listen to unGodly music, read novels, and touch yourself at night. Did you know that when you defecate, that's a sign that you contain too much Satan, forcing your body to expel certain amounts od evil in concentrated form?

7. No.
Zits are caused by a combination of oil from the sebaceous glands, dead skin cells and bacteria.

12. Oh, so listening to bad music won't cause satan to pop out of your skin?
Sometimes, at work I am forced to listen to bad music.

14. Intention is part and parcel of sin, my child.
If you're *forced* to listen to unGodly music, it has no effect on (or cause from) your Satan layer.

15. Hmm. What if what god considers ungodly is not what I consider ungodly?
Because I listen to what Frankie called the devil's music a lot. And, I am of the opinion that listening much "godly" music, especially that type of godly music that white people with no sense of humor sing, will drive you insane. I was in a chiropractor office that was playing that stuff, and I was sitting there for an hour. I think for that time period and for at least two hours after I had gone totally batty.

I do not mean to sound prejudiced, because I am a white girl. But some of that music is just.....bad.

16. God is the final authority on what is Godly.
But if it's any consolation, everyone on the Contemporary Christian charts is probably in for a WHOPPIN' surprise...
