Lo, A Jocular Disquisition on Aiding Local Citizenry!
It Might be Worthy of Your Time! Are You Up for the Challenge?
I don’t think community service should be mandatory for graduation. That’s not what school is for, or at least it wasn’t what school was for. It has become a holding pen for the disenfranchised. It is little more than a vortex of undue stress for those who believe it gets them somewhere in life, in addition to being a pain in my ass.

Now, whatever the blood is used for, it’s probably going to get some use, somewhere. Even if it doesn’t, there’s always some possibility that the blood could be used for an anemic orphan baby. You don’t want to kill an anemic baby, do you? You absolute
