Just because I hear it does not mean I have to say it. In the 1950's I found out from the man I admired the most, my dad, that real men do not have to stoop so low as to use potty language. I had a very successful military career without using it. Yes I heard it, but then I considered the source and decided not to lower myself to those standards.

"Potty language"? LOL.
Yes, I suppose the world does seem like a terrible place to you.

"When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight it's way out of a piss-soaked paper bag."
