I think this is interesting:
John Nance Garner was the 32nd VP under FDR and once described the office of the vice presidency as being “not worth a bucket of warm piss.” [This quote was Bowdlerized for many decades to “not worth a bucket of warm spit” by the media. The incorrect version is still used on occasion by writers who say they never heard or read it any other way.
Yup. It reminds me of this supposedly true anecdote ...
Bess Truman being interviewed ...
“Mrs Truman, could you get the President to stop saying ‘manure’ so much?”
“Hon, it took me thirty years to get him to say ‘manure’!”
