This feels like the sixty-third time I've had to write a paper on Beowulf.

I guarantee you, though, it's never been this difficult.

On the way home from school, I saw the following on a church signboard the bus route passes by:

BODY PIERCING
SAVED MY LIFE
THANK YOU JESUS
I know what it means, of course, but it's still a funny statement, and an odd one to see at first glance on a church signboard. I wonder whether tattoos have the same effect?
