Windowlicker
On the way home from work last week, I drove for a good fifteen miles behind an estate car which had a dog in the back dilligently licking every square inch of the rear window with its huge floppy tongue. Having covered the entire window with slobber, it would then start all over again.

I have simple pleasures, and thought this scene was incredibly funny, and almost put my car into a ditch somewhere near Basingstoke as a result.

Getting home, I recounted this chortlesome tale to my charming wife and her best friend from down the road. I dare say I might have thrown in a few less than politically correct sound effects and the word "belm" in my energetic and - damn it -excellent story-telling which was met with a dreadful, stony silence.

Later: "You do know Jane's daughter has Downs, don't you?"

Hull, please.

oh dear
A. You 'didn't know' your wife's best freind has a child with dowms syndrome?
B. A dog licks the window somehow you equate with a disabled child in your anecdote?
fucking hell scary duck I don't what level you need to have a word with yourself on assuming its true.

Yeah, it's true and I'm ashamed
I did know her kid is Down's, but I'm a fucking moron who went overboard with the belming without thinking.

(And this *IS* a question about questionable, moronic behaviour, so what did you expect?)

I don't know what belming is, and it is about questionable behaviour, I seem to have a humour bypass with a lot of the postings on this subject, especially with those without your self awareness and empathy on its impact.

So
why would Jane associate the window licker story with her Down's kid? I don't get it...

"and the word "belm" in my energetic and - damn it -excellent story-telling"
That explains it.

I sincerely hope you were just confused and not jumping on the bandwagon of complaining about every story that seems to have been rapidly emerging the last few weeks.
