“I was a sailor and took perverse and unwarranted pride in my profane eloquence as a young man”
I worked as a cowboy. Sailors have to talk to other people. Cowboys curse at cows. I think sailors may have cleaner mouths of the two.
Hahahahaha...I think you are right...:)
I always remember coming home after Boot Camp for Thanksgiving with the extended family, and I was excitedly and loudly telling a story, and stopped when I realized everyone was frozen and staring at me open-mouthed.
I thought “Was it something I said?” Then realized I had liberally been using the “F” word.
It was embarrassing, and that was when I began trying to curb my mouth, only really beginning to succeed when I got out of the Navy!
