Carving Lures
Is Satan tempting me?

Well, first i got my math quiz back today and the only question i got wrong had a solution of 666.

Then, i was playing Sorry with my brother and the first three times i rolled i got a 6.

After that, I had to walk my dog, on the way i saw three people each with a 6 on their sweater.

Then when i was eating dinner, the number 666 was carved in my baked potato, at that point i was really starting to get creeped out.

But, i still didn’t think too much of it until i went to Tim Hortons after dinner to get two Ice Capps and my total came to $6.66.

Is Satan trying to lure me to the dark side?

Look on your left foot. “666″ should be scarred into your flesh.
On your right foot it should say “love Satan”.
If it doesn’t, then you’re alright.
