Blog This
I added a new link to Colour Me Confused, the blog of another friend of mine I just tripped over thanks to Arthur. I will have to make that part of my daily reading.
Heh, I have a funny story from work today... a 'guest' had started laying into one of my staff, and while it started out as simple ignorance and anger, it escaleated to swearing in very little time. Now, I do not tolerate people misstreating my staff at all. I simply will not accept it. I have fired far more guests than employees, and this is a trend I am certain will continue.
Regardless, he started to swear and curse when I interjected (as I have a penchant for doing when people are picking on my staff), that there was no reason to swear in my lobby. He stoppedm looked me right in the eye and in all seriousness said, "Fuck is not a swear." For those who know me... it's very hard to shut me up. I am a loud and boiseterous person but this little greaseball of a guest actually did. I stood there dumbfounded as he walked off before collapsing into laughter... I think that is my phrase of the day. I have been gigiling all day at that... I mean... really, isn't it the most distinctive swear in the English language? My mother still threatens me with the bar of soap, if I use the word in her presence, or should we just adopt it into the dictionary and be done with it (although it would probably be a very long entry in any dictionary).
Remember kids...FUCK! - Is not a swear."
