I was sitting not too far from hubby and his 'other' best friend (the guy best friend) while they were playing Halo 2 yesterday. About 20 minutes into the game, I hear hubby whispering several strings of swear words. I thought it was funny that he was whispering (huh? why whispering?) the swear words, but even funnier was the story that it reminded me of.

One of my friends went to a wedding a few years ago and saw that a primo wedding viewing seat was available. She had no idea at the time why the seat was available, especially just moments before the wedding started, but happily took it.

Suddenly reason for the vacant seat was crystal clear. The person sitting next to the vacant seat had Tourettes Syndrome. The kind that makes you swear. To her horror, the guy starts dropping loud F bombs, S bombs and pretty much every other bomb you can think of. My friend is a really nice person and didn't want to hurt his feelings, so she stayed in her seat.

My friend told me that as soon as the wedding started, the bomb shower turned from loud swearing to whispers. I don't know why, but picturing my friend sitting there listening to an onslaught of whispered swearing while watching a bride walk down the aisle just cracks me up.

So, there's your advice for the day. If you must swear at weddings, please whisper.

That reminds me of one of the best episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Did you see that restaurant scene?
Anyway, nice site, I enjoyed the jokes and that apple pie!

Hmmmm, now you make me curious about Curb Your Enthusiasm. Is it a British show? Needless to say, I've not seen that episode. Do tell!

Oh, and thank you for your kind words about my site. :smile:
