I'm a good girl, but I did visit some of the worst "big
houses"  in the States when I was  Sister Mary Jane. I'll
never forget this one man, he took his clothes off during a
mass. I almost fainted when he came to receive, he was
covered with ink. As Jesus is my Lord he had the bible in
living color tapped into his flesh. It was beautiful and
horrible at the same time. Terrible! 

A-ever read the illustrated man, that was him.
