Sometimes 'profanity' just slips out..................
Good for him...I have always remembered Robert Lecke’s book “Helmet for My Pillow” where he described his introduction to profanity in the USMC...
It was an eloquent description of profanity!
I use profanity on occasion, but as I have grown older, have tried to wean myself off of it. I don’t sprinkle it in conversation as I used to, particularly as a sailor, but still find myself using it when I smash my finger with a hammer or foul something up.
There was once a time when smashing my finger with a hammer could uncork a blue streak of vituperation, now, I issue an single syllable exclamation.
Gotta keep trying.
I don’t always succeed, but I am trying.
Sometimes 'profanity' just slips out..................
Me too... I know it is offensive to most FReepers and I care about FReepers more than any other group that I am associated with. I have improved but I have a long way to go. I grew up around real men... raised to be one... and the work was tough and when needed... the language was curt and to the point.
Happy New Year!
