ds_flashfictionHope it's not too annoying to post another response right away. I'm done after this one I swear. Just when I thought I would never use anything I learned in 10th grade social studies class . . . 206 words
"You've got to be kidding me. They actually chew on them every morning?"
"I assure you, Ray, it's true. However, it is not so much the practice anymore, not since the advent of readily available rubber replacements. In reality, there may no longer be anyone who still follows that tradition. It has been several years since I have heard mention of it."
"Now I don't feel so grossed out by your licking habit. At least you only take a little taste, you don't settle in and make a whole meal of it."
"It's not done for sustenance, Ray."
"Huh?"
"Food; it's not used as a source of food. It's just the best way to maintain the hide, thereby safeguarding the wearer."
"See, I woulda' thought some of that pregnant mucus stuff would do the trick. . . ."
"Hardly, Ray, the enzymes in the saliva act to soften without leaving a slick film. Surefootedness is most important when every step one takes is on ice."
"You got weird country here, Fraser. So then, no mukluks. Hey, what did they do before long underwear, Frase?"
"Whale blubber, you see they used it as a kind of sealant . . ."
"Fraser, I really don't want to know!"
"Understood."
