And that reminds me of the time I was on a train travelling from London to Sheffield, United Kingdom...Haydn had warned me not to ever say the word, "****" because in England that's equivalent to our word "F" well, you can fill in the rest.

There was no heat on the train and I had a really big Canadian white wool coat with Fox trim complete with a hood, suede gloves up to my elbow and boots up past my knee to match. There were people in the carriage reading books with their coats open. I was absolutely frozen because I wasn't accustomed to English very high humidity cold weather in November.

I believe I said something like, "**** ... when are they going to turn the heat on?"

Everyone in the carriage looked at me like I was from the dregs of society and I very quickly understood I had said the forbidden word. No taking it back!!!! So from thence forward I was known on that train as the Canadian with the potty mouth! I really don't know how they figured I was Canadian...must have been something about the colour of my eyes that was the tip off! :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin:

Sylvia

The word we're looking for here is S H I T!!! I can't even say it on an American board...! Hilarious!!! :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin: I had no idea I'm such a profane person. Goes to show you huh!

God will get you for that! "Liar, liar, your pants will catch on fire!" I never, ever heard that word until I came to that meeting with 5 other moderators ... they all used it and encouraged me to use it. I got very good at using the F word together with the rest of the letters. You guys were bad and led me into speaking like a truck driver. I quickly returned to being Canadian again when I crossed the border and just use the "S" word **** when I returned home.

There you see the software proves it...it's much worse to say the S word than other word! Canadians are really evil because they use the S word frequently as opposed to Americans who use the F word.

Wolfie, I just noticed your new hat. Don't move, I'm crawling through this monitor right now. Ohhhh...I've got to get a bigger monitor. :faint: :faint:
The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.

Well I will take the blame, or the credit, for teaching you all that little ditty - but you must admit it has some teeth in it :) Sometimes it just makes you feel good all over :floorrollin: I will try to type the beginning consonants...see I still can say consonants. P, S, C, S, FN A T I A K. R, R, L S, F.

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

Isn't that great that software stops us from being profane by not allowed us to use the **** word? It comforts me that there is something in place that prevents me from making a total **** of myself by swearing. Oops ass is a bad word too! A S S

Thank you Pat, I seem to recall that ditty! I guess I really did lead a sheltered life because I was a protesant and no one was acquainted with the paritcular piece of English literature. It just wasn't in our curriculum, but it obviously was in the Catholic system. :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin:

Did the nuns give you instruction about that ditty? Curious minds 'need' to know!!! :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin: :floorrollin:

John, you obviously didn't go to catholic school! Pat will elucidate on that point...she did for me and I have to admit, "I'll drink to that!"

Bartender??? Where are you?
