Columbus discovered Syphilis and the New World
Young men in the 1960s were continually warned about the dangers of drugs, rock n roll, and sex.
Sex not only led you to hell, but to Syphilis.
We had no idea what Syphilis was, how you got it, and what you did once you had it other than horrific tales of doctors shoving an umbrella needle up your penis. Fear was a credible prevention tool during those decades of ignorance, although not enough to keep us pure forever.
Before 1493 no one in Europe, Africa, or Asia had the Clap.
No one, until Columbus returned from his discovery of Haiti.
Of course the Native Americans have stated that it was the Europeans who infected America not the other way around.
It’s a little like my first time getting a dose.
It was in Paris.
I was faithful to my teenage girlfriend, Candida.
She had an Italian lover. It was supposedly over and I believed the 17 year-old. Men in their 30s can still possess a soft heart and my trust was rewarded with the clap.
“How could have I gotten this?”
Candida and I had been having sex the last two weeks. Syphilis is a sexual infection. I told Candida I was positive and we had to visit the Palais Royal Red Cross clinic. They treated us for free. Socialists. Afterwards I said, “You should tell your boyfriend.”
“He would not give me this. You must have gotten it off a toilet seat.”
“Toilet seat?” I didn’t get the clap from a toilet seat and broke up with Candida for a week. We said nothing about her gift until she gave me the gift that keeps giving once again. I returned to the States. She calls me at Christmas. No longer 17.
37.
Seeing that article about Columbus’ other discovery in the New World, I can state firmly that Columbus did not get Syphilis off a toilet seat.
I doubted either the Caribs used sitting shitters and the Spanish were probably even less elegant with thier sanitary habits.
The returning members of his first expedition got it from sex.
Scientists have now isolated the disease’s bacterium as a relative to the non-venereal infection known as yaws.
Someone must have sat on the toilet seat there too.
Strangely I’ve never had a case of Syphilis since Paris.
Not in New York or here in Pattaya.
Maybe those rubbers actually work.
