Unfortunately, she absolutely couldn't get out of it, given the context ... much as it made her want to :puke:

Worse ... the photos are now easily available

1. Give them a strong degreaser. Industrial strength.
Hose them down if necessary. One degree of separation isn't enough. You may have to seal her with an acrylic polymer, just to make certain.

2. She needs to soak the hand in bleach.
Sorry, but it is the only way. :-(

3. Matthew 5:30
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

8. Since when do fundies read the bible?
:rofl:

I religion shopped for a while when I was younger, so I actually read the darn thing, even the begats (which reminded me of the days my grandmother would get the photo album out to show me cousins I had no clue I had.)

6. What would make that mandatory?
Damn the circumstances. I'd absolutely refuse.

If teevee cameras or something were there — well, even better.

9. I don't think I could explain without enabling people to dig up the photo
It's not always about one's personal feelings

12. That hand has touched greasy, booze-soaked evil.
Beware, for it may rebel against her someday.

14. I'd think just washing thoroughly would remove the taint from her skin
The taint on her soul can only be removed through the judicious use of a solution of ethanol and monosaccharides...IOW get a bottle of 100-proof rum and kill it with her.

15. Nothing. Who cares?
It's not like the stupid rubbed off on her or anything.

20. I can't think of a context where I'd be able to touch that piece of shit.
No offense intended to your friend, of course. I just don't think I could make the muscles in my arm move toward that thing.
