An Amusing Incident

Unicycling along the canal lunchtime, with my jogging companion, we passed three young boys fishing. My friend says
"Caught anything lads?"
Quick as a flash, the reply, from a lad who might have been about 12 years old:
"Yeah, syphilis".
I was so surprised that I fell off.
Can't be many people who have UPD'd because of an STD.

You'd probably catch syphilis (or worse!) from fishing in the Glasgow canals!

As the father of a 12 year old girl, I find that story more than a little disturbing.

Don't worry, he's in England. Seriously though, it amazes me how having a daughter completely changes your world. I was fortunate enough to have two, and now while they are young, it is great. Ten years from now, it will be hell. At least that is what I am preparing for.

Agreed: good to know that their "sex education" has at least mentioned disease.
However this incident was in one of the poorer areas of Manchester. The casual observer would not be blamed here for suspecting, from visual evidence alone, that any teenage girl not already pushing a pram, is visibly pregnant. I think I read that Clamidia levels in teenagers in Manchester hovers around 1 in 14. Very worrying.

"Sex education" takes place in many places. When I was a kid we played "cooties" a version of tag where the person who is it has "cooties", children's undefined source of yuckiness. When I lived in Chicago I remember passing a group of kids in the 5 to 6 year old range, too young to have experienced formal "sex education" and they were playing herpes, same said game of tag, but the person who was it had herpes.

Point being there's really no telling how this kid learned of syphilis, what it is or how you catch it.

Exactly, that's why I used the quotes.

Minutes earlier Jeffrey and I had been talking about whether or not we had to be coaxed since there was a girl about 8 years old standing on the end of the high dive for 10-15 minutes being coaxed by friends, family and onlookers. I had mentioned that I never needed to be coaxed into anything like that. My oldest daughter is too much like me, 10 years from now will be hell.

Okay, was it clearly syphallis? or could it have been something else and you just misunderstood?
