Geez seed, I just had to come back here a minute. Growing up in a heavily Ital/Amer community, I always loved that kind of humor. It seemed like every guy my Dad knew was constantly on the lookout for ANYTHING that sounded the least bit stupid, even good questions were fair game!!! Then the "Nooo--I wuz......." part and it was never the same (or so it seemed to me), always included some genital/sexual reference, and the word "fockin'" two or three times as a kind of "punctuation."

Consequently, the word "Fockin'" was a significant part of my vocabulary for most of my adult life.......and to a small (very small) extent, it still is. But at a late age, I became a Dad...................SOOOO......we're having supper one evening and one of our foster girls, about 6 at the time was acting like a complete goof. My son Michael, then age three, turned and stared at Britt for a few seconds, and then said, "FOCKin' ASShole" in a voice I knew I'd heard "somewhere" before. Karen gave me a look that would have killed a normal man, but I had already fallen off the chair laughing. Mom had a talk with Dad and Dad had a talk with son and things improved.......some. A month ago, when I met Mudcatter Cara from DC who was home in Ohio visiting parents, my same darling son voluteered, completely out of the blue, "My Dad made an Easter Egg that said 'BITE ME' on it."

This will give you some idea what it's like to grow up in this house.
