I realize that some of you may have been brought up in a trashy household, but I think you would have matured and eschewed swear words.


My parents both used curse words and still do. I do also, but only out of habit and rarely, rarely, rarely will I use them in the presence of others -- especially women.

I was never one for "guy talk," you know, sitting around seeing who can fart the loudest and make the best [BadWord] jokes. It was never my style and I hope my children follow my lead.
