When the

Ditto that. I'm much worse with the anticipation of pain. I spent the good part of a night in the emergency room after stepping down off a my workmate with my full eight onto a nail. The docto r had to pull little bits of shoe-sole rubber out of my foot. I was stiff as a board waiting for him to pull that out.

The funny thing about that trip to the ER was that it was about 2:00am and the police brought some guy into the adjacent room who was drunk and had apparently driven onto someone's front porch. He was abusive resistive and apparently handcuffed to gurney.

Sound from the next room:

DR: We need to take of your pants sir. Patient: You're not taking off my F*ing pants. Sound effect: Zzzzzzip. (sound of sissors cutting the length of his pants).

I can't say that I have ever heard the term "c*cksucker" used more times in a ten-minute period in my life.

I have a hammer named Mjolnir. Hit my thumb with it, I was Thor for a week. It was stiff and rather Wodin for a while after that, but eventually I was Freja of the pain.

We have a saying in EMS (emergency medicine), "Sick patients don't bitch". Meaning, if they're well enough to be hollering, they're gonna be just fine. Usually. There's another saying that if the patient says they're gonna die, they're usually right, but there isn't one to address when these two seemingly contradict.

Actually, to be a pedant about it, Christ is a title rather than a family name.

I was building a half-wall, and things were a bit wobbly. So, I was holding one of the studs in place with my left hand, while nailing with my right hand. The nailer bounced against the top plate of the half-wall, and double-fired. The second nail out of the nailgun hit the head of the first one (which was properly embedded in wood), and as it couldn't go down, it went sideways-ish. Recall that my other hand is below and somewhat forward of the intended nail location.

Nail broke out the side of the wood, flew through the air down six inches, and lengthwise into the tip of my left index finger. Missed the bones, missed the nerve and tendon bundles, and came right out with a pair of pliers at the hospital after being carefully checked for the above.

It was not pleasant. Worst part was, because I wasn't sure if I could drive, and my now-wife, then-girlfriend was looking a bit pale about the whole thing, is that I had to call 911 for transport, and of course the ambulance that responded is the one that I'm an EMT with. Still haven't lived that one down.

Double ouch. Working in a station 25 years, I know how teasing goes (and comes). But, if you can't stand the heat..... LOL

only Jesus was a woodworker. Do you suppose he ever hit his thumb with a hammer? And if so, what would he have said?

I have a feeling that if he was sure-footed enough to walk on water he probably never missed

My mother (a good lady of Norwegian extraction) says she always swears in Swedish. The good Lord certainly speaks Norwegian but as certainly does not speak Swedish. a drip of inherited wisdom from jo4hn's john, jo4hn

Yeah. Something like the "a little stick" preceding a needle, whether for an injection of knee lube or a blood test. The BT is little. The knee lube ain't, and after #1, you know it won't be.

Fri, Dec 3, 2004, 11:40pm (EST+5) snipped-for-privacy@host122.r-bonomi.com (Robert=A0Bonomi) who obviously has me confused with someone else, is so misinformed that he says: OK, so you need some education _about_ the fine art of swearing.

If I'm going good, I use words from all of your examples. On a good day, I can go about 3 minutes without repeating myself. On an exceptional day, well over 5 minutes.

By the way, some euphanisms "can" be used, but usually are effective only if interspersed.

I seldom do any swearing nowadays, unless I hit my thumb with a hammer, get very frustrated, or talk to myself puzzling out a problem.

Then you say: An analysis I read, back in the early 70's, discussed various life-styles and the skill-set in this regard. One that stuck in my memory: =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0"Marines, especially sargents, practice it extensively. Unfortunately, =A0 using a very limited vocabulary, mostly concerned with bodily functions."

I fine-tuned my ability with 20+ years in the Army, serving at different times with all the other 4 services (I included the Coast Guard), and British, German, French, Italian, and Turkish, military services. Maybe that explains the difference in quality. At one time I was adequate in sveral languages, besides American English. Sadly, anymore, I'm only able to proceed adequately in English English and German, marginal in Spanish and French, and down to about one nasty word each in Polish, Italian, and Latin. I've misplaced everything in Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean. Ah well, don't really need them anymore anyway I guess, but it still would be nice to have them available, just in case.

Reminds me of an old joak.

This college kid was in a bar, and at the next table this guy and a woman are talking. All of a sudden she burst out crying and the guy leaves.

The college kid goes to her table, she was hot, and sits down to comfort her. He asks why she's crying. And, she tells him the guy called her a terrible name. Well, the kid wants to know what he called her. "Oh, it's a terrible word, and I couldn't repeat it". So, the kid tells her to spell it for him. So, she leans over and whispers in his ear. He immediately jumps up, and shouts out, "No dammit, it starts with a W, not an H".

Yeah, even the girls wouldn't say stuff like you claim.
