If you're going to go to hell anyway, why not go laughing 😂

by
Years ago, my Mother-in-law began reading, "The Exorcist". She said it was the most evil book she ever read. So evil in fact, she couldn't finish it, took it over to the beach and threw it into the ocean off a fishing pier. | went and bought another copy, ran the faucet over it and left it in the night table drawer by her bed. My Father-in-law said that night was the first time she ever screamed and fainted. I'm going to Hell, but I'll go laughing.

If you're going to go to hell anyway, why not go laughing 😂

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"?

So, putting the book down where you finish reading it until it organically evolves into a pile of books doesn't count as "arranging"? Rude! 😜😂

I hate both of these things, who knew I'd have so much in common with JaneAusten 😂

by
Text above what I assume is a painted picture of Jane Austen.. Jane Austen's works are timeless classics because she knew the real horrors in life are having to listen to men who think they're better than you and receiving unannounced visitors.

I hate both of these things, who knew I'd have so much in common with #JaneAusten 😂

First you have to force feed them some propaganda like "the strong should prey on the weak

by
Four panel comic of a classroom with ENGLISH LIT written on a blackboard. 1st: "Morning, class! Today we're going to start our Lord of the Flies unit!" 2nd: Teacher walks out. 3d: *Lock* sound from the door. 4th: Incorrect expectation of mayhem.

First you have to force feed them some propaganda like "the strong should prey on the weak." And then you can have instant replay of #LordOfTheFlies 🤔😒
