Spit Is An Ugly Thing.

Believe it or not I never learned to spit... really, not even in the dentist's office. When I try to spit it just goes out like a shower. You would think that after brushing my teeth a zillion times I'd know how to spit without getting it all over myself and the entire sink. I'll never be the guy below.

While Titus (the guinea pig above) meant no disrespect to his owner it did happen and Joe was none to happy about it.

Unintended Disrespect

Whether you own your home or rent I'm sure you have experienced a time of some clod disrespecting your home.

One of the biggest examples of disrespect (as far as Realtors are concerned) are those who walk right into a home without asking if they should remove their shoes. I'll never forget a man walking into a brand new model home with muddy/greasy boots from the oil field. Lucky for me I caught him about 3 steps in, it took a lot of cleaning to fix that one.

Another example that affects most people who have a yard to maintain is the litterbug. I'm sure most people who throw a candy wrapper or cigarette butt on the ground are not hoping it ends up in your yard but it has to end up somewhere. Again I will use the word Lout. Living right across from a historic baseball park I get plenty of litter from plenty of louts.

Diving 50 years back into my memory I remember a friend who threw empty bottles out the car window. When I called him on it his attitude was "they tax us to clean it up anyway"... REALLY?

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Hello Bob - there are many "talents" I haven't mastered.  Like you, spitting is one of them.  I don't feel as if I'm missing anything.
