You know we take our lives so seriously that, every now and then, little gems show up in our day-to-day that make us stop, take stock and, if we're lucky enough.... LAUGH!
So there I was, nervously taking the train home after a lovely evening spent catching up with an old friend, Garry Hallett, from my Contiki tour of 1986 (GE606) - G.I.D.....Give It Death (or dith as the Kiwis said) who was in town. I'd just finished telling Gaz that I didn't want to stay out too late as all the Windowlickers are out late at night and they're all on my trainline, for some reason.
Windowlickers? It's my term for the 'special' people in our society and was coined after a particularly interesting experience one evening, once again,when I was catching the train home late one night. A 'special' gentleman decided that I was going to be the object of his fascination on my train and spent the best part of the train trip staring (leering) at me. I did my best to ignore him but at Box Hill station, he alighted much to my relief. He then went to the window of the train where I was sitting and planted two palms on the window and in rather close proximity, proceeded to slowly lick the window. I suspect it was to show me how ravishingly desirable I was to him and I THINK I was supposed to swoon and leave my absolutely wonderful husband for him, to run away and live in post-coital bliss in a cave somewhere. I dunno........maybe I got it wrong, who knows?
Anyway, after a lovely evening spent with Gazzah, I jokingly told him about my Windowlicker experience and sure enough, I was blessed with a gift. At first, I was a bit worried/nervous as I wasn't sure if he (my Windowlicker for the evening) was harmless or not. However as time and many stations passed by, it was evident said Windowlicker was a sweet little Peckerhead that had no intentions of hurting anyone as he was enveloped in his own dancing world with matching headphones and doof doof to help him along.
I couldn't help myself because Peckerhead actually lightened my trip and made me genuinely laugh. He made all the other passengers happy as well and that was our little gift for the day.
Now in contemporary society, it is a safe thing to be cautious and wary of strangers who behave strangely in our midst. But every now and again, you come across an unaffected individual who just wants to express their joy and happiness and God Bless their little cotton shoe-shuffling socks, they spread a little joy to our doldrum lives.
So, take a few moments out and watch my iPhone catch of Peckerhead Windowlicker, Parts 1, 2 and 3..... sit back and have a giggle:
