I knew I would get myself into trouble. It was a small program with only a half dozen men at a small isolated monastary. Haven’t got any requests for money in some time from them. Maybe 5-10 years. I am curious though and will see if I can still find it.

The last time I saw a mug like that was in a bag of oats on the Mr. Ed Show.

Just a word in defence of soldiers:

Yes, single men in barracks do have a way with words.

But I submit that the language used by civilians is generally much coarser than that used by soldiers when speaking in polite company. In watching soldiers relating to civilians, what usually strikes me is the generally respectful and courteous manner usually displayed by the soldier.

The young recruit is 'appy -- 'e throws a chest to suit;
You see 'im grow mustaches; you 'ear 'im slap 'is boot;
'E learns to drop the "bloodies" from every word 'e slings,
An' 'e shows an 'ealthy brisket when 'e strips for bars an' rings.

The cruel-tyrant-sergeants they watch 'im 'arf a year;
They watch 'im with 'is comrades, they watch 'im with 'is beer;
They watch 'im with the women at the regimental dance,
And the cruel-tyrant-sergeants send 'is name along for "Lance"

From "the 'eathen" by Rudyard Kipling

I bet if Jackie Mason said the same things, sober or drunk, he'd get away with it. Or Dennis Miller for that matter.

She;s toast and ESPN will determine when she leaves.

She’d better hit her knees and start saying a boatload of “Our Father’s” and “Hail Mary’s”. Lightning might be forthcoming otherwise.

What a lengthy reply; why didn't they spell her name correctly?
