The Scorched Soul Erotica...

So it was Saturday night, and alone I sat wondering why we are burdened with the chore of existence. And thinking of chores, I was reminded about another most daunting chore. Having a bath daily. I mean, why waste away so much water and precious pheremones! But then a wave of Nirvana swept across my mind. And I was enlightened ever more. For in that moment of sweet nirvana, I found out the reason for having a bath daily. And now that I have the knowledge, I must pass it on. The knowledge could enable us to optimise the frequency of the activity without being compelled to label a violator of the daily bath ritual a heretic. You see, dead skin cells from the epidermis keep shedding from the human skin. The epidermis is the topmost layer of the skin. Cells on it keep getting replaced by the cells from beneath it.

Marriage ceremonies can be discreet, in a few cases, but in vast majority of cultures and religions, the ceremony is a social affair. In cultures which do not allow extra-marital or premarital relations (which traditionally I think almost all didn’t), the event should be such so as to make the general population aware that two people have been legally wedlock and hence are entitled to stay together without the people’s objection, or better still, with their cooperation.
