Cleaning up my act

[mousme]

I have installed a Clean Air Jar for myself at work. Every time I swear, I put in 5 cents. Once I've kept my language clean for 30 days straight, I get to keep the proceeds from the jar.

I hope it works. I've developped a mouth like a sewer here at work.

My mother used to use "crumpet" as a swear word. I figure I might use that, and try to come up with some imaginative but clean swears. Before anyone suggests "Frak" or "Gorram," be advised that I've tried those and find they don't suit me. Yes, I find them weirder than "crumpet." Don't ask. It's safer that way. :D

Until well into my twenties, the only thing I used as a swear word was "rats!". I figured if it was good enough for Charlie Brown, and all that went wrong in his life, it was good enough for me.

Somewhere along the way, it seems to have fallen by the wayside.
