and use of interpretation.

If it is talking about a yellow shirt with a snake on it.
With no correlation to the cartoon, only to the yellow shirt and what it says.

Snakes do not stand, they slither.

It is about washing feet, not hurting anything, again perception, do you protect or hurt?



But some that assume the worst might think that is what it means.

4. I found a Linux script to generate that. Serious.

"and", "or", "but")

8. Regrets carriage.
Corrupter respect assassinates bilinear or foolishly or slopped shy suffocation avoidance gripe injury restorer of corking hundredfold or sweepstakes tying cipher of stepson but uncanny. Distinctiveness.

Revelry solicitude the pitted hordes loophole and supremacy sling authorship thermometers implicant swamping sureties romances exemption of megaton of innumerably sometime robot maintaining creators jingled hovered descriptor or exterminated hamlets comes impediment or regulars fallacy.

Airlift littleness or tracks of powerfulness. Recall series dyne stragglers liberals but panels omen commandants psychotic accursed oleander seceding ablate benignly acquiesces simplify cleanliness unalterably.

Heh. This is fun!
