A GOOD OLD TONGUE STICK

When our son was very small and he wouldn't like reprimanded he'd stick out his tongue at us. Hopefully unnoticed. But when he was caught in the act he would respond with, "I was just airing my tongue out".

Tongue sticking is childish. But it's better than waving at someone with the middle finger. We could learn a lot from the little ones.

So my question for today is who deserves a good tongue stick or a good airing of the tongue from you today?

My list would be so long, I'm afraid, so I'll just list and only on occasion give a reason why. By the time I'm done sticking, I may need a drink because I'll be evaporated.

Those opposing Sheriff Joe, ARod, T.O., Roger Clemens, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, New England Patriots, Jerry Jones, NBA players with multiple tattoos, College Basketball Tournaments, the movies, any of the Osbournes, clouds without accompanying precip, signal-less drivers, tailgating drivers, drivers who complain about speed cameras when they allow you to go 11 miles over the limit before they ticket you, pain, suffering, unemployment, socialism, stimuli packages, politics, sand traps (how the heck you can hit a little sand trap and miss a huge green is one of life's mysteries), atheists, terrorists, thieves and other misceants, people who chew their food and talk at the same time, the new hairstyles,the new clothing styles, most of the American Idol top twelve, in fact most tv shows.

I quit. I don't feel better at all. Maybe I should go to the book of Numbers, Chapter 12, I think, where we are told not to grumble. I've always been good at that. I just stuck my tongue out and curled it back towards me. Now I feel better.
