Reclaim The Finger

I’m LOOSING words every year and I’m a slow learner so add only few. I’m consistently LOOSING more than I’m adding! “Society” tells me I can’t say quite a bit of my vocabulary. Those words were hard to come by! I think there are more “bad words” this year than the last so I decided to reclaim my words before I RUN OUT!
Then a friend from my book group, whom I’ll call Mr. B. said he was spitting mad when some guy on the road flipped him the finger; it ruined a good half of his day. One day he thought to himself, “What do these guys mean by this action?” and upon reflection he decided it meant, “Have sex!”
The next time someone held up a digit in his direction Mr. B. immediately thought’ “That nice guy wishes for me to have LOTS of sex. I like sex! What a nice fellow!” AND SO my friend grinned widely and waved rigorously and in exaggerated mouthing said back, “THANK YOU!”
For the rest of the day Mr. B. enjoyed the sweet memory of great confusion on this fellow’s face. He’d reclaimed the finger!  nancymauerman.com
