1.	Intro 01:10	lyrics	buy track
(clears throat, taps microphone) We at the First and Two-Thirds Mid-Southern West Baptist Church of Catholicism would like to welcome you all, and thank you for attending today. We are proud to introduce to you the world renounced speaker who hails from the Pinellas County Department of Corrections, and is currently on probation for the indirect responsibility of causing a mass suicide as well as several incidences involving mutilated and sodomized farm animals. Please give Mr. James your undivided attention, and hold any questions until you have been released from hypnotism, if you can remember them. If at any time you feel the need to vomit, there are bags for that purpose in the pockets on the back of the pew in front of you. You may use these also if you need to use the bathroom. In the event of a fire, please remain seated. (short pause) You each have been issued a cyanide capsule in case of an emergency, or if we happen to be raided by government officials. If you wish to leave, please see the man in the Gestapo uniform at the rear of the room, and he will assist you. With all that said, we now bring to you David James, please give him a warm round of applause.
