perhaps greatly exaggerated

 “Reports of My Death Are Greatly Exaggerated.” (Mark Twain)

As much glee as there is as Septic Tank Man versus The Black Death Man swirl and buzz around, and with each new day, a new series of “oh no you just didn’t gurl,” being vaulted from their Ivory Towers, let’s get real in the end both STD man and Ebola Man have too much at stake to risk an all out war…at least as I read the Tee-Leaves.

It’s like having nuclear weapons; they make you seem invincible until you realize that the fallout, once it falls, can in turn kill you. Don’t get me wrong, there is great delight in watching Emasculated Male Man throw daggers at his fellow Emasculated Male Man, and how they act as if no ego has been destroyed, but both men have a lot at stake, not to eventually kiss and make up.

But in the meantime, it is great to wonder what gossip will be thrown out as a source of venom, what truths will inadvertently be shared, and how far they will go before either one actually falls off the ledge. The death of their relationship might be greatly exaggerated, I fear!
