And how to construct an altar? And does one have to burn it to a crisp? Or
can one just make it well done and then eat it? If the latter one might be
able to placate the neighbors with a big slice.

I think it would depend on what she looks like, how well she cooks and done
other things.

What, you mean you can't tell?

LOL!

I had a Canadian girlfriend once and I couldn't tell the difference.

My guess is that you could hire a hit man. Just make sure the job gets
done. But tell him not to do it on the Sabbath though.

I'll be interested to hear the results of that one. Are all committers of
abomination supposed to be killed? This could be a solution to the
overpopulation problem. Luckily I find shellfish totally unappealing.
