some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and3 g) n C; T' V: D
MotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on

together of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that/ w' \. z3 o$ Z& T( g! X0 W
Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were

don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such, P# T" ]% ~7 _8 v" j) j
stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinckle now."; n; |7 W% T" d* @

it takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very1 s, W# G5 O- r! X, p3 y9 M7 Q1 D; N
imprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to( C% [2 R) {+ V( J
hurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,/ n7 d1 n: N1 J) j4 a' q( q

" }( O% V; [8 C' r& r+ sI like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for

I hope so. Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any3 x6 Y1 v1 D' [4 B( h9 r
circumstanses. You just cannot say them ever ever ever. Not even/ h2 X5 ?8 Z8 z$ l
clinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, and Ed,

But there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words.

CROWED 3 times" "Hey, tha cock CROWED 3 times. ha ha ha ha. Hey, it's in

them. He must've hurt them, by God." and the other 2-way word that+ V6 l$ k a; g: r: ^+ B+ |
goes with that one is Prik. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You! S, V* z: k- J1 E# f+ h/ Z
