>One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come

>Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry

>
>"And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked.
>
>"Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly.

>"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them
