thank-you

A man with brown hair, eyes closed and hands clasped in prayer, wears a red collared shirt against a blue background. He intones: "Thank you for a relatively long lifespan, for alcohol dehydrogenase, and above all, for internal fertilization." A caption beneath reads: "It's too bad we don't worship Evolution." The joke is that he is offering a reverent prayer of thanks not to a deity but to the process of evolution, citing oddly specific biological gifts. Votey: in a rough black-and-white sketch, the same man keeps praying and adds, "And damn you for balls." — cursing evolution for the painful vulnerability of testicles.
