Pierce yourself for peace…
Blog Guy, I’m sick and tired of the violence all around me, and I want to do something to protest it. What’s a good idea?
Well, you could get a tattoo, like these people in Cuba protesting violence.
No, see, you don’t understand. Why would I go through something involving pain if I want to protest violence?
Ah, I see your point. Then maybe you should get a body piercing, instead, like some of these other protesters. Maybe your navel, or nose, or tongue, or…
No! That’s even worse! I’m anti-violence. I want something peaceful….
Right, now I get it. How about cutting off your leg with a hacksaw?
