It creeps into workplace meetings, onto trains, and in
airplanes. It sneaks down aisles in grocery stores and slithers from nearby
booths in favorite restaurants. Sometimes it starts slowly, skulks a while and
then rushes forward abruptly when it’s too late for a quick retreat.
Like a hunter, it stalks it’s victims across rooms, in
hallways, on elevators, and even during Sunday services. Inescapable, yet
avoidable; manifest, but unnecessary; it preys on you when you least expect it
to find you.
There is no formal invitation or announcement, no
introduction from a friend, family member, teacher or preacher. Clasping,
grasping, holding, and clutching it hits you with full-on-force; so gripping
and resolute. Like an unwelcome stranger,
you know it’s arrived when it invades your personal space.
It starts through the nostrils at first and a strong one has
been known to cause a burning sensation in the eyes , mouth, and throat;
although only imaginary. It causes snickers from children, groans from
teenagers, and women to complain.
Most everyone will unanimously agree that the dreaded unpleasantness is a nuisance best avoided.
