Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Zip Thy Lip   (Photo by Kajoovi) 
Humans can be quite unpredictable at times.  That is why the Bible cautions us to remain vigilant, especially as concerns the tongue.

But what about the rest of the mouth?  Perhaps there should be an additional warning, one that stipulates, “Thou shalt not bite.”

The mayor of Nagoya apparently did not get that memo.  After he bit into the gold medal of Japanese softball player Miu Goto, the blowback was fierce.  He ended up apologizing, then admitting, “I should reflect on that.”  Reflection is all well and good, but tends to work best when done beforehand.
