It is always nice to see a man who takes pride in his appearance. My fellow passenger handled the worn Pumice stone with delicacy and no little dexterity. The exfoliation of his feet began on the outskirts of Swindon.
Rubbed Nirvana was achieved as we rolled into Reading.
He admired his handiwork as far as Slough and then refitted the black knee length socks which had been so carefully removed twenty five minutes earlier. The socks clamped with elastic elation around his hairy calves.
His shoes needed a polish. But I didn’t feel in a position to tell him.

Hahaha! Loved it.
Thanks – glad you enjoyed it.
Ewww….ew.
Well, I suppose we should take some consolation in the fact that he didn’t start applying nail polish.
Now that would have been worth writing about!
Why did he stop there? Great ending. Hahaha!
Susie – a lot of kids read gingerfightback and if I reported his later activities I would cause long term issues for some of them!
I think I’d have to move to a different carriage!
It was grimly fascinating!
Hilarious!
Thanks.
Yeah, I’ve heard that pumicexual is the new metrosexual.
I have heard that too – there is a heavy dub reggae lyric that goes -exfoliation for the nation.
I’ll listen out for it at the Raggamuffin concert I’m going to this weekend.
Enjoy the show! look oyut for the ginger rasta.
Imagine that! Scuffed shoes in public….
I know ! Standards have slipped…..
This man is an excellent travel mate!
Did he confuse his pumice stone for a biscuit during tea?
No but his name was Duncan…..
[…] never know what you’ll get at Gingerfightback. He does like to add red hair to everything, I especially like when he adds it to monkeys. For some […]
Elastic elation. I love it.
Ha, great ending! 🙂
Thanks!
😀 It’s one way to pass the time…
They did look mighty fine after the buffing.
LOL
Thanks – but it wasn’t funny at the time.
Too excellent. Groomers on trains should be arrested.
Thanks – I’ve written to the Government about it – SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
When it comes to humor, you’re in a class by yourself, my friend!
Thanks very much for the kind words. Spread the nonsense far and wide!
This makes me nostalgic for the train companion whose sulfurous emanations frightened the mice right out of our carriage.
A difficult skill to master…..
