Do Not Lick This

     When did LICKING become so prevalent? It is, you know. It’s very popular right now. No longer just a compulsion hidden by people with OCD (One of my favorite authors, humorist David Sedaris, has written about the compulsive and debilitating “light socket licking” problems he suffered as a child), it has been brought out of the closet, apparently. People are licking windows, picket fences, paper in the copy machine.  If you doubt me, check out the NO LICKING signs posted at Passive Aggressive Notes. I’ve provided a link at the bottom, or just click it in my Blogroll and go the October 8 entry.

     When I Googled this weirdness, I found a T-shirt with a picture of a guy named Jesus licking a bowling ball. What on earth does that mean?!  If you want one of these you can get it at Busted Tees.  And if you do want one, please tell me what it means asap. At Cafe Press, you can get a less-cryptic T-shirt that proclaims simply: I Lick Windows. That one is a little more straight forward.

     I’ve gotta bounce now, there’s a car for sale across the street and I wanna lick the door handles  before somebody buys it.
