Whew! That thing is huge BTW, you could use it for a raft. I always admired the great muscle-tone on those people, having been on a friggin raft with no food for weeks. You can’t see it, but there’s a Stepmaster right behind the gruel bucket.

P.s. Love this painting. Great analysis of it in “A History Of The World in 10 1/2 Chapters” by Julian Barnes.

It’s about time for dinglePerry and his band of Thoughts and Prayers to get on their knees to pray for something else.
