Fear of the Unknown

A crack in the pavement Does it portend a death in the family an untimely end Is it an opening for widow’s weeds or just a spittoon for sunflower seeds

as a spokesperson for the bicycling sunflowers group I find the idea of "spitting" sunflowers hilarious....

Myself, I once held your titled, but what I spoke got twisted... Humorous comment of the month so far, John! You ARE DA MAN!

Cute examination of superstitions like step on a crack break your mama's back!

Ouch! Don't do that!!... That's such an awful thought, isn't it. It must be culled from those awful British nursery rhymes like Humpty Dumpty, Jack & Jill, and all the others that speak of injury and pain!

A crack in the pavement may be because of a number of reasons. It needn't evoke serious fears in us. All we have to do is walk careful not to fall in the crack and prevent our bones from being cracked....! .... :)
