GIFT OF TONGUES

Remember that one time in the Bible when God decided to confound the language of the people building the Tower of Babel and they all started talking jibberish? Well, sometimes I think God is trying to pull that card again with me and the people on the bus.

I listened to ol’ chatterbox sitting behind me for over a half hour trying to figure out if he was actually speaking another language or if he was just straight up crazy.

And the verdict is…yep, struck dumb.

One, he could have cared less if he were talking to a human or an umbrella. And two, at several points in his “conversation” there was an extended humming sound and an occasional whistle. 

Tower of Babel must have been pandemonium.
