Must we call each other turds?

4. At 74, no words shock me.

My shock wore off when we became regular viewers of "Sopranos."

The swear words actually got to be funny, and a lot of crude phrases became acceptable to hear, maybe not to use.

When I lose my temper, I'm "f'n" everything withut saying the word in full.

"Sticks and stones" still works.

Oh, just looking way back, when my oldest son brought home "Beverly Hills Cops" for our new VCR, I thought it was the end of the world when I overheard the swearing, but watched it and laughed like hale.
