Preacher Man

He stood at the corner screeching As I juggled my bags of cans. He said that I was going to hell. He said Jesus was his man. I gave my tobacco one last chew, Swallowed the spit as I always do, Took the used up wad in hand, And flung the masticated mess at him.

too easy, this one. And you should not masticate, it is against God's law, and you will be blinded.

blessed with a 1.

It's not an "inside joke". It's an extremely common, obvious and tedious piece of wordplay.
