@ Neo, you are creating a red herring out of baa baa black sheep now. Back then, it was even on TV and local newspapers. That rhyme is about a negro going around selling wool. "one for my master". It has its origins during the slave days. Listen to the rhyme again, this is also self explanatory. Listen and see if it makes the same sense it did while listening to it as a kid. Maybe the banning part is a myth but I am not sure all schools still teach the kids the rhyme. Now you are simply trying to get some respect out of this by distancing yourself from those invectives. If what you said was true, it would not take a day (Look I have not counted, just a guess) for you to distance yourself from the "sh.it" part of it from the "cake" part of it. While I maintain the whole piece is sh.it, I can understand some people may find cake in shit too. I will give you benefit of doubt that you indeed found some cake in the sh.it and a thumbs up is eating that cake. It is another thing that normal people will not eat a cake laced with shi.t or even near it. It should destroy his/her appetite for few days. Ok let us say that you are hungry and have not eaten for days and about to die and you found a cake in sh.it and you have no other option but to eat it. So just before or after eating it, you should clarify thus...."Whereas I consider myself a hygienic person, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have to eat the cake. I will clean it properly, put it in the sunlight for a few hours to kill the bacteria. However, I do not encourage people to do likewise. It is injurious to health." But Sir, you did nothing of that sort....waited....waited....and it is already too late coz I already put a photograph of you eating the cake from the sh.it. :) So this is why you have to apologize. For pretending to be a clean person when the fact is there is some sh,it in your hands.
