It's like an assualt on you. We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the

certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I7 Y0 H) w5 o, ~& S3 r. X

stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."( P, T0 d% w/ _% H

it takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very' \# j' \: F W
imprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to
" w! _9 g U, h$ p4 t3 P, X" Shurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,! e3 L; h' I6 a8 Z& v/ A( ]' v
"I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love' ~" J$ o0 Z; O2 f" c6 j% a
than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is

I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for% u. U G5 u5 M
the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with. "Okay,& N) L0 B- }+ ]/ D9 {2 }
