Thass right, you figgit out! Once we's out de joint, we faced a hard time in de depressium: couldn't get no 'sembly line woik, 'n since de nakkins we's wearin' atch'ly be growin' outs our bodies, we was labelled as "over-qualified fo' janitorical deployment". Onliest good thang 'bout bein' a MAMMY NUN is we be mo-less un-destructable! Whatever dey done whiffed up befo' don't do shit to us now!

An' how many folks believe THEY number won't come up, next time de breeze blow fum de Easterly directium? ... Les' face it, peoples: ugly as I mights be, I am yo' futchum! 'Les y'all prefer "permanent storage" or a condo in Atlantis.
