Subject: RE: BS: Words that are fun to say
Bert's playback to me above on the "fuckoff" thing reminds me of one of Lenny Bruce's stories. After one of his many arrests for obscenity, the case goes to court.

The prosecutor says, "Your honor, he said cocksucker!"
Judge: "He said cocksucker?"
Prosecutor: "Yes, cocksucker....that's what he said, cocksucker."
Clerk: "I have it as 'cocksucker'...is that correct? Cocksucker?"
Judge: "That's what I understand. Cocksucker. That is right isn't it Mr. Prosecutor? Cocksucker?"
Prosecutor: "Yes, he said cocksucker. Right there in front of the police and everybody he said cocksucker."
Judge: "Well I just can't believe he said cocksucker to the police. I can't imagine using the word cocksucker."

After awhile it becomes obvious that they like saying the word. Most are to uptight to use it, but NOW its testimony so its OK and they love it!

One of Lenny's funnier bits, but again, based in truth. We get some thrill out of the words, but most of us won't use them in "polite" society.....most of us....well, most of YOU anyway...................
