“No doubt we’ll next get orders to cease cursing”

Already in effect:

http://militarytimes.com/blogs/battle-rattle/2011/08/23/for-marines-in-afghanistan-be-careful-where-you-fart/

“They’re not supposed to cuss because it could be misunderstood (that one goes out the window a lot). And they stay away from talking about politics, religion or girls because those topics could escalate into major disagreements (they can’t communicate anyway because of the language barrier).

But farting? That’s practically a sport. Ok, it’s not soccer, but a good contest could open the door for cross-cultural exchanges, jokes and other gallows humor.

So, for all Marines getting ready to go downwind, I mean downrange, be forewarned — you may have to hold it in… at least until you get back to your hooch where you can loudly crop dust your friends.”

Please read Comment #18 - a worthy list

Only response I can have is one from The Day:

SORRY ABOUT THAT

(And you can visit with another of the Brothers to get the unabridged translation to that one. Don’t feel like getting banned over BS like this.)
