$15.00
Ultimate fighting bears, a fat king who poops himself, zombies, donkey “bits”, and a fart.

Weird, Crude, Funny, and Nude is a hilarious, Christ-centred, and somewhat inappropriate look at some of the least known and discussed parts of the Bible for those of us who think nudity, poop, and farts are funny.
