Given recent discussions on this thread about profane language, I am reminded of a story that illustrates if one uses profanity, be sure to do so correctly. AK
=================
In Florida, a thief burst into a bank wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun. Aiming his gun at the guard, the thief yelled, "FREEZE, MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A F**K-UP!"
For a moment, everyone was silent. Then the snickers started. The guard lost his composure and doubled over laughing. It probably saved his life, because he'd been about to draw his gun. He couldn't have drawn and fired before the thief got him. The thief ran away and is still at large.
The bank later put an engraved plaque on the wall with the words "Freeze, mother-stickers!"
