I think once he managed to get the F-word CP> into a sentence 15 times. There is a fellow that comes in to my shop every other day to use the can and the phone (usually in that order, but I digress..) and on a bad day, the swear words are emitted like rapid-fire as he emotes about certain problems. Most of the time no one else is in the shop (because of the restrictions to retail shopping). He'll tend to not be aware of his surroundings when someone *does* walk in - and continue with his swearing.. and I have to chide him like a little child to please exercise some resraint. He's in his 70s. He actually resembles (and sounds like) Yosemite Sam (from the Bugs Bunny cartoons). I'll have to play him the swearing mashup of Yosemite that Darly pointed out. -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.48 * Origin: Does photographic memory take time to develop? (2:221/1.58) .
