FOR CHARITY!!
For every hundred pounds she raises she’s going to remove a ball of wool from her chesticles (and she has fuckign sexy tits my friends.)

Tom-all-Alone’s (1853) by Phiz
Mr. Snagsby descends and finds the two ‘prentices intently contemplating a police constable, who holds a ragged boy by the arm.
“Why, bless my heart,” says Mr. Snagsby, “what’s the matter!”

Educated people are critical thinkers and know enough history and science to see through the political chicanery of Tea Party liars and global warming deniers.
