Fun With Vocabulary

Jo took the last swig of her apple jack and bashed it over Sarah's head. The two were feuding over the divinity of Jesus Christ, Sarah is an evangelist while Jo is a socinian. They came to an impasse when Sarah stated "You can't believe in the bible and not in Jesus, it's just nuts,". Sarah was knocked out cold, and some guy who called himself Freddie took advantage of her right there on the bar floor. Some might have called Jo's actions dirty pool, but to her this was an act of jihad. All this sudden action caused Jo to undergo an emesis. "Damn Apple Jack," she cried as she ran out of the bar. Jo felt like a butte with her obscure religious views. However, she believed that she knew better than all the American evangelicals and tagged a ride on a lime juicer headed back to England. Sure she would have to endure a lot of sea men on her way to the mother country, but at least she would no longer be persecuted for her faith.
