I scraped some skin off my hand working in the yard this morning...
Now I have some questions given that these cells contained my complete DNA:

1) Do I need to hold a memorial service? I am not religious--can anyone suggest the appropriate denomination?

2) Am I criminally liable for their deaths?

3) When the rapture comes, can I expect to be reunited with these cells (they were some of my favorite).

4) If I had immediately called 911, would they have sent the cell recovery intervention team?

I guess that there is a also that sticky issue of masturbating, but I will leave that for another time...

2. Call Homeland Security, report the detached skin as a splinter group
that broke off from it's host to try and disrupt world peace.

Course, you could then be charged with harboring terrorist "cells"

Boo-hiss...I know, I know...

snicker

8. Nah

don't deport him, cuz J.B. Bigbucks, the local Republican business man, can use the labor. A dollar a day seems a fair wage, but these dad burn Americans want minimum wage. These working class folks are always looking for a hand out.

10. I`m horrified at your apparent lack of respect for President Bush.
President Bush raised the bar with his speeches about being a life-lover. Too bad you`ve sunk so low that you`d joke about this grave matter. Democrats just want to turn Petri dishes into little coffins. They aren`t life lovers and when The Rapture comes, they`ll be sorry.

11. I too have sinned grievously ...
A few times a year, I let the blood bank take cells out of me. Some of those are white blood cells, and have their nuclei still. And yet I am being a thoughtless "parent", by callously shipping them off to another city. Some of them will die, in their refrigerated plastic bag, no doubt wondering why their "mommy" would do this to them. Worse yet, some will be injected, while still alive, into some stranger ... God only knows who these people will be ... where my poor cells will spend the rest of their lifetimes wandering around, forced to perform immunological functions in a virtual state of servitude.
