My conversation with my pioneer mother
by caligirl inas freedom96 noted on an earlier post, my mother is in town.
we have had a situation this week concerning his son, which he well elaborate on at a later date, and i don?t feel it is my place to relay the story first.
suffice to say for the moment that we are both hurting immensely from what has been said, and it has brought on some pretty strong emotions.

Why must people spit? Public spitting has become a modern plague. Call me old-fashioned, but I am offended by the rasping of throat membranes. I am frequently discomposed by this sound coming from behind me when walking on the street. And I am particularly offended by the moist expellation that follows.
It is young males who seem to be especially prone to this ill-mannered behaviour. Although having said that, perhaps I am missing something essential here. Perhaps a piece of my personal humanitarian jigsaw puzzle has inexplicably slipped between the cushions of my genetic sofa. So, anyone who enjoys public spitting, perhaps as a hobby or in the hopes one day of competing in this discipline at the Olympics, please enlighten me.
Is it, for instance, that spitting is an essential part of the human mating ritual? Do these young males feel that the female sex is attracted by the forced expelling of glistening lumps of phlegm? Perhaps the colour indicates the males? virility to the females? curious inquiry. Perhaps the propelled distance is an essential way for young women to distinguish the winners from the losers in the modern jungle. Maybe the males can tell whose territory they are in by an examination of the pavement. Sputumgraph. Useful stuff.
Or maybe I have failed to move into the modern age of peace, love and all-round oneness. Perhaps public spitting is a Lennonesque manifestation of unity, prompted by a desire to share the most private matters with all the wonderful brothers and sisters of the human family. Perhaps it is engendered by our common origins in the desert regions of the Earth, when surely the sharing of water denoted the highest expression of love, and moisture was a blessing of the Gods.
When I lived in England, I entertained the romantic notion that maybe spitting was only a local phenomenon due to the tragic misunderstanding of a famous phrase in British history that ?England expectorates every man will do his duty.? Alas, upon moving to Canada and traveling in the United States that notion was rudely hawked to the curb. Nor is it a particular cultural or ethnic group that monopolises the mucus. Spitting is enjoyed by young males of all races and cultures, it seems. Surely this secretory brotherhood couldn?t have been the dream that King had in mind?
Please do tell me what I am missing here, because I would hate to be inadvertently showing disdain for humanity by remaining self-contained. Nor do I wish to accidentally emasculate myself with silent and internalized secretion.
Yes, I beg to be corrected, else I begin to believe the foolish notion that public spitting is merely the ill-mannered behaviour of young thugs who have no respect for their fellows and betters.

Jesus came in 1874 and then changed to 1914, no problem, per FDS

Bing bong!
Evidently Jesus wanted to come in 1874, but was unfortunately delayed by points problems on the 3:17 from Chipping Sodbury to Liverpool Street, caused by an unforseen sunny spell leaving sunny-residue on the tracks.
British Rail apologises for the inconvenience, and wishes youa pleasant onward apocalypse.
Bing bong!

Well let's see. If someone were to do this on a professional basis they would have transport costs for a start.
Then there would be materials expenses for ...erm... maintaining the tool of the trade at peak performance.
Repairs and maintenance costs, such as re-hydrating drink and rash cream.
Research and development (how to get higher sperm counts etc).
Advertising and promotion: "Big Willies - The Champagne of Semen" etc
Salaries: a really really good looking secretary, for instance. With benefits of course, such as purchases from Victoria's Secret.
The list goes on and on, hey?
