Maybe it has the effect of changing your complexion from green to blue.
Hmmm…Seven deadly sins, huh?
Soooo…It’s like…umm…One for every day of a “Hell Week”?…Kinda reminds me of some old college fraternity shtick!
If I may…
[Scene: One of Satan's taskmaster minions, "Bialziboobie", appears before one particular crowd in a vast section of Hell]:
“Ok, you damned for all eternity, suffering, multiple transgressing sinners…it’s Sunday…You all know what that means.
Yeah…”Envy Day”…You know…like in Choich when you fallen away Catlick ladies envied another lady’s hat?
Ha,ha,ha,ha,…snark!
Satan calls it…’Freeze your arse’ day! (sounds of crowd, moaning & groaning).
OK, knock it off! And, of course, you know what tomorrow is…remember?….huh?…”Lust Day”?
It’s been switched, by the way, from Saturday to Monday; for a little damnation relief! (snort!)
Yeah…we deal in extreme contrasts down here…
on “Lust Day” we burn your arses…AND, of course…your unmentionables!
Igor?…Stop picking your nose, and throw the THIRD switch!
[Igor]: “NOT…the THIRD switch, master!”
[Bialziboobie]: “Yes…the THIRD switch!…you snivelling dwarf!”
Happy freezin’ Sunday, you poor, misbegotten sinners!
BWAH-HA,HA,ha,ha,ha…”
[large hall echo/Fade out; with Sounds of rotted teeth chattering]
Sorry! I couldn’t help myself…Guilt and shame, drove me to it.
You see, I’d been very Slothful, lately!
