Not Something “Clap” About

Probably not….you would have to be an old fart to appreciate those days and all their interests and glory…….where the most popular spot to meet your friends was in line at the local Free Clinic….but the girls you met there you would want to wait a couple of weeks before you hit on them….if you get my drift……(wink)…….
I was once told in a Health class that you COULD get the clap from a toilet seat…..(pause)…….but it is awfully uncomfortable……
Any way I bring up my bad old days for a reason………..
(AP) – A sexually transmitted disease that infects millions of people each year is growing resistant to drugs and could soon become untreatable, says the World Health Organization. The UN health agency is urging governments and doctors to step up surveillance of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea, a bacterial infection that can cause inflammation, infertility, pregnancy complications and, in extreme cases, lead to maternal death. Babies born to mothers with gonorrhea have a 50% chance of developing eye infections that can result in blindness.
“In a couple of years it will have become resistant to every treatment option we have available now,” says a UN scientist. Once considered a scourge of sailors and soldiers, gonorrhea—known colloquially as the clap—became easily treatable with the discovery of penicillin. Now, it is again the second most common sexually transmitted infection after chlamydia. The global health body estimates about 106 million cases annually worldwide.
Damn! It use to be sex, drugs and roll n roll……and today it is masturbation, Advil and IPod….damn this generation is boring!
For me now, its drugs, rock n roll, and occasionally when I’m a good boy, or if it’s my birthday (so I’m guaranteed to get laid at least once a year; sure glad I wasn’t born on leap-year), sex.
And you know what, I’m thinkin’ I can live just fine without the last one.
LOL
Weird.
This reminds me of a PBS Special I watched a few days ago. It examined the affect of AIDS on San Francisco back in the 80s and early 90s. It was rather sad. It’s not directly related to this story, but it brought it to mind.
Terrance…..always good to see you again….all well on the home front?
Lobotero,
Everything is fine. I just don’t have as much time to mess around on the net as I used to, so probably once or twice a week at this point.
