A five-panel SMBC comic. A man and a bespectacled woman talk. He asks, "Do you believe in an immaterial soul?" She says, "Of course." He asks how a material body can affect an immaterial substance; she answers, "Temptation." She explains: imagine two perfectly matched souls in love who both want to "bone" each other but can't, because they lack the requisite "squishy-bits." Then a big pile of people-flesh comes along for them to inhabit, and she enthusiastically declares, "Bam! Riding a meat-puppet to bang-street," with a "clap!" sound effect. In the final panel, the two are shown as silhouettes in the dark; the man asks, "So... my soul is just here for the sex?" and she replies, "I mean it would LIKE to be, yeah."
