When I saw this prompt, it brought a little chuckle to my mind. It reminded me of a sign I saw driving home from work one night. “Why didn’t Noah swat those last two when he had the chance?”
I consider it one of the more memorable signs, regardless of your religious beliefs. Moreover it is kind of one of those fill in the blank kind of statements. Moreover, I suspect we can add a long list of them. You know, bed bugs, fleas, ticks… It sort of goes on and on. I am sure that everyone has their ideas that can be added. I guess close to a decade ago, my goodness time flies. It might be two decades.
At any rate, there were a number of us going through the graveyard where my mother was buried. Afterward, I mentioned that my ankles were itching suddenly and I had no idea why. My wife reminded me, “chiggers.”
OK. They are not as bad as mosquitoes. Still. They do bite and they do itch. They do make you wish you wore better clothing. They do make you wish you used some Off insect repellent on your ankles before traipsing through the high growing grass.
I guess whatever bothers me the most is whatever it is that is bugging me at the moment, like the mosquitoes in Vietnam or the flies at my picnic. Regardless, I am with the man that dreamed up that sign, why didn’t Noah kill those last two while he had the chance.
