    Bi-racial? Nonesense, the models for these are clearly aliens trying to pass themselves off as human; don’t sell yourself short, go with bi-species!

      Well, actually there’s really only one race on earth, the human race. Just different ethnic groups. So to be bi-racial one would need to be a human dating a Vulcan or a Wookie.

      To be bi-species it would have to be a human dating a dinosaur.

      There was a news story a while back, a woman’s hand was amputated, but they kept it alive by attaching it to her leg until her wrist healed well enough to put it back.

      I think I know who the model was for that card…

        Wait, so her hand was amputated, but she already was missing a foot? Unless they attached the hand to the middle of her leg somewhere? Sounds like the unluckiest woman alive. When they took off her hand, she was probably like, “here we go again with the extremity amputations.”

        Someone send her a card.

          They attached the hand to her ankle, so she had her normal foot and her hand next to said foot, like her calf branched off and there was a hand on one stem. I was mistaken about age, it was just a little girl.

          Google ‘hand attached to leg’ and you get pictures!

          Maybe they cut off her foot so they could attach a hand. From then it just went all haywire.

    I was unsure of the quality of the cards; so I sent one to the Dean of Student Dating and Marriage Arrangement at Bob Jones University. He told me to “fuck off, you mulatto-half-breed-heathen whore.” So by that metric, these cards are pretty good.
