I grew up in a fundamentalist home, where we said "wet" instead of "pee", and never, ever, ever said the Lord's name in vain.

I honestly believed I would be struck dead immediately!

Then I went to college...

Among the things I learned, were how to "...curse for five minutes straight without repeating myself..." (quote from Dick Starks of the Kansas City Dawn Patrol )!

I tend to use expletives to emphasize a point. But yeah, you really gotta watch the kids!

Every now and then I'll let one slip at Mom's... I'll be embarrassed and shamed for days! Let the F-word slip at Thanksgiving a year ago at my Mother's when Mr. Hixson said something totally off-the-wall and I was still in denial of his mental condition...

I'll never forget the look on my Mom's face...

<shudder>

My Granny however, could "curse the wall paper off the walls" (quote from Mike Warnke, I think...)

She was my hero!

My argument in my earlier years was "how can the mere oscillation of air molecules be offensive?" but, I know better now!
