THERE’S A FOOT FUNGUS AMONG US

The above comment to my posted diatribe of 12/11/19 also expresses my sensibilities — but it might have you scratching your head if you haven’t been subjected to the foot fungus ads running amuck amongst my (and other bloggers’) posts. It’s as if some mad grafeeti artist is having a high old time desecrating the artistry of my literary opuses, and I won’t stand for it for one second (which is probably how long it will take for such an ad to appear below). Just in case, I’ve enlisted some “serious cartoons” to give it a run for its money:

In any case, as a public service, if you happen to suffer from woes between your toes or de agony of de feet, and are considering responding to foot fungus ad-verts or -vice, out of the goodness of my heart I leave you with these cautionary tips (my favorite of which is to STOP PEEING ON YOUR FEET):

Geez MrM .. give you a foot and you’ll make it stink!
Tea tree oil at least smells refreshing, keep your onions and pee …

Urine for a warm treat
If you pee on your feet.
Or so says my friend, Mr. Peters by name —
But first take off your shoes, or it’s not the same.

Thanks, Kate.
I don’t have a relative
With fungus on his head
But I do know a bloke
With bugs in his bed.

Thank you, o.b. You should follow and comment on Rivergirl’s blog. She absolutely adores my bad puns, and your comment here shows that you could pun-ish her posts equally pun-gently (but don’t tell her I sent you).

Of all the quotes in all the world… you pick that one for inspiration. I’m not sure if I should be flattered… or horrified.

I can’t believe no one made a reference to the great song “A Fungus Among Us.” I began singing it as soon as I saw this post.https://youtu.be/gtjc5c9pt9Q

Glad you provided the link to that song, Elizabeth — I love the rockabilly beat. I tried to find the origin of THERE’S A FUNGUS AMONG US — the song was recorded in 1958, but I think the saying goes back even further (Google was no help in that regard).

My grandchildren don’t believe it was a real song. I will have to play it for them now that I have found it on line.

mistermuse, Tubularsock’s sympathy goes out to you for your ad ad-nauseam. Tubularsock has the very same reaction and has thought about putting a large headline on every blog post that reads:
ANY AD SHOWN ON THIS SITE DO NOT BUY ANY OF THEIR SHIT!
However, Tubularsock has noticed that Tubularsock now doesn’t even notice them anymore.
Tubularsock just reads past them.
This is a bit scary because if Tubularsock can do this to ads hopefully Tubularsock can still notice a bus before crossing the street! We shall see………….or not!
Cheers.

I like your attitude, ts.
I didn’t mind the ads when they appeared at the end of my posts, but lately they’ve been appearing between paragraphs as if they’re part of my posts. Apparently WordPress doesn’t believe in the integrity of a blogger’s work (as if the blogger doesn’t care if they mess with it) — whereas actually it’s WP who doesn’t give a damn, as long as they can make money out of it. .

Never noticed foot fungi blooming between your words, Sr. Muse. But then I live in San Diego, where the climate makes it possible to go days at a time without wearing shoes and socks, the incubators of foot fungi, so maybe I’m not getting targeted.

Glad you’re being spared, Ricardo.
It has occurred to me to put foot fungus competitors’ ads in future posts just for the fun-gus of it, but I doubt that WordPress would think it’s funny, and they’d probably sue me for alienation of affections or whatever tiny print clause in their account conditions I might be violating. Still, it’s very tempting….
