Man Explains How He "Dedicated His Hands" To The Lord


Memphis, TN -- He rises at 5:45 am each morning and begins a process that few could maintain. The routine begins by removing custom fitted lambskin gloves and ends with a light coating of Jurlique Rose Hand Cream. The 18-step process takes approximately two hours and includes a ten minute soak in buttermilk followed by a three minute rinse with apple cider vinegar to remove any remaining dead skin cells.

Why does he do it? Well, Jasper Willington is always quick to answer, "Three years ago, I dedicated my hands to the Lord. Just look at these palms!"

Since Jasper dedicated his hands to the Lord, he has had to give up many things. "It's unfortunate, but I can no longer perform any manual labor with my hands." Jasper has placed himself on a strict regimen that does not allow him to drive, cook, lift, type, mow, button, make the bed, or touch another living thing.

Some may wonder how a human could give up so much. "It's totally worth it knowing that my hands are dedicated to the Lord and the Lord alone. Every time I look at my hands, I think 'thank you, Lord for giving me such hands that I can give back to you.'"

Wow... just think of the implications of dedicating your whole self to God. You could live in a spa and never do anything useful again.

He looks just like the guy who named and claimed a double negative. They must have been separated at birth.

I was just sitting here thinking, "You know, I'm way too busy. I need a good religious excuse to get out of some work..."

Hey, wasn't this the guy who married himself? In that case it's really not all that bad. I mean, really, how many wives wouldn't love this sort of treatment from their husbands? He's just setting a good example, really.

-15000 man points for his astute knowledge of B&BW-like terms :).

Heh heh, thanks again, Dr. Br., this one made my groan and chuckle at the same time.

You guys crack me up. Your picture memories are amazing. Sir Brass... I had to look up what B&BW stands for... does that give me back some man points?
