I read the last part about the tongue first. It made me giggle. Then I went back and read the rest of your piece from the beginning. Since it was starting with 'My Physical Death' I was all set for different piece of writing. Actually after reading the ending and then the beginning, I wasn't at all sure what to expect. lol

You give a very good religion based argument. I had never thought of all those other arguments, examples of the eye and how it could offend someone. They were very good points. I have to agree with you. I would not pluck my eye out either. I'd be doing a whole lot of praying and scripture reading.

Then to the bottom part. As I read it again I busted up. You did the accent really well. Being very familiar with it, I heard it quite correctly in my head.

And actually that tater eye, it's not even a matter of taste. lol The eyes are of the nightshade family and can kill you. They attack the nervous system and can put someone in an iron lung.
Thanks so much for sharing this, and for the laugh.
love, LinnAnn
