Ok, I need a little help here. Late last night I went down the block to the gas station to get some smokes. When I got there the clerk and a couple of customers were showing off their various tattoos and piercings. I'm a Conservative guy but I also have a Libertarian streak. Nothing they were showing could be called freaky, not my taste but whatever floats your boat.
But then someone made some comment about a split tongue and I made some inane comment like "sure, give me a minute to commune with Satan". I looked up and the clerk showed me his surgically cloven tongue. For a moment, and I'm sure my level of intoxication had nothing to do with this, scenes from Rosemary's Baby flashed through my mind. I got my smokes and got the hell out.
Tattoos I understand...at times I've thought about getting one myself. Piercings I understand......but I'll never get one myself. Having my tongue cut in two?.....this has never occurred to me. In fact this kind of freaks me out. Why would someone do this?
Please, educate me.
