Man, that was bad even for ME
While driving with the husband the other night, I had what I believe was the MOST evil conversation of my life. And so of course I shall share, because I'm very generous.
As a bit of background, we were discussing the planet's overpopulation problem--specifically, how China is actually on to something, with the whole "one child per family" rule. Let's listen in, shall we?
Me: But they're not following the rules? They're cheating?
Huz: Well, they accidentally get pregnant....
Me: And then they don't abort. So they're cheating.
Huz, not realizing I'm playing Hellspawn bitch Devil's advocate: Well, you have to understand that the abortion facilities we have just aren't readily available to most people there.
Me: Wire hanger. It's a very simple device.
Huz (catching on): Oh, well yeah. But they export most of those with the clothes from the sweatshops.
Me: So have one per family. They can pass it down, generation to generation.
Huz: That's sanitary.
Me: So? It gets rusty, it sterilizes them. Problem solved!
I think I need to go feed a stray puppy or two now, in a pathetic attempt to cleanse my soul of at least a particle or two of evil. I might even...*shudder*...kiss a baby.
Maybe.
