OK, I've been in the Marines too long. I've finally found a tattoo I want. It's not the normal 'hooyah' all Marines are supposed to get. Ben Franklin drew this cartoon for a rallying of American colonies in the face of the French and Indian war, just prior to the Revolutionary War.
Imagine American colonists waking up and reading this in the news, "Join, Or Die." Different than what you think of our founding-fathers, no? Anyways, in old superstition, we believed that a snake would come back to life if you rejoined the pieces before sundown.
I kind of have to believe that superstition. I won't eat off of white-handled forks, for fear that some gut-traces will enter my system and condemn me to hell for killing that attacking-snake when we were nine....
So vote in the comments. Ye or Ney. Vote knowing that I will practice the tattoo test; waiting 6 months or a year to see if it's still worth it in my mind...
