featherynscaleAs much as I believe that reality is what you make it, and that the universe is a very, very subjective place, I also believe that there are some "facts" around which such a consensus has been built as to make them if not actually objectively true, at least living in a house on the same block as objectively true.
One of these facts is that I do not now have, and have not ever had, a pierced tongue.
And yet, for the second time in my life, I have been denied employment due to my alleged tongue ring.
So let me ask you all this, you who know me, and especially you who have had direct experience of my tongue: Does it seem to any of you that I might have a pierced tongue?
If people are going to be like that about it, I suppose I might as well go get the piercing done. I've wanted one for years, but I thought it might make me less employable. ::boggle::
