Francis,

Thank goodness I know how to take the fun out of a thing!

Though for those who bravely came back and reread your comment here, I think I may have put the fun into the thing.

The looks you get if you’re brash enough to say some of the oldies nowadays make it worth keeping them in the arsenal. A loud “doggoneit” gets way more looks than a loud eff-word these days. So for shock factor, my money’s on the silly stuff. And none of it makes your finger feel any better, by gum.

Later,

Kelly

Gosh, you sure know how to take the fun out of a thing.
Golly you are boring. Good grief you could try to liven it up a but.

Back when I was a mechanic we had a swearing jar because things were getting a little thick. We showed the versitility of %&#$ on a daily basis. It was a quarter for everytime you swore. It was etting a bit full buy week 3.

Then on a Monday I was putting the rings back on a cylinder head when the engine turned over trapping my finger. I sealed my lips but gadzuks did it hurt. After we freed my finger (45 minutes and a partial engine disassembly) I walked over to the swaer jar, dropped in a couple of bucks and let fly.

The swear jar dissapeared the next day to be replaced with a nice new coffee machine.

Fiddle-sticks, my finger still hurts thinking about it.

P.S. My alltime favorite is “dirthy thumb stucker” all the hard constanants, none of the profanity.

Francis,

Yes, you did make up for lost time.

For the sake of my daughter and my clients, I think I’ve helped you clarify a bit.

Warmest,

Kelly

How the heck did I miss this comment-fest? Consarnit! Just think of the nasty hi-jacking I could have done. I'm insulted I wasn't invited to the party. And as for lying. Brett is the worst! He has been wanting to play crazy-eights with me for 10 years but lies about it everytime I offer. What a cad. Eyeteaguy Did I make up for lost time? Eyeteaguy’s last blog post...I'm tired

@Kelly,

Yes, I have, and I’m guessing you have as well. He can be pretty dark for sure, but I’m not surprised given some of the stuff that’s happened to him. I suppose everyone would deal with that differently.

I still prefer Motorhead, though Lemmy is much funnier…

So if you ever do a post about the military-industrial complex, I’ll post a link to Orgasmatron.
