Cleaning up my act

mousmeI 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

Crumpet? Abu Felix and his all-female cast of co-workers use "BASKET!" as in, "Oh, our boss is such a basket, he always dumps work on us on Friday five minutes before quitting time." or "That guy I was dating turned out to be a real basket, I caught him kicking my dog."
I use by Her Holy Hooves and Horn here on LJ, but not in real life.
