On the other angle, yes, I can be out on my porch enjoying a smoke and someone from the neighborhood drops by that I don't particularly care to see and I have to listen to his stories and his damned vocabulary which seems to use the "F" word every fourth of fifth word. WHAM! The cigar is ruined. I actually counted one night how many times he used the "F" word in a five minute period and the count was about sixty seven times if I recall. I mean I say too, but not like this guy. I mean , it IS a word but why use the ing thing so ing much!?
O.k., so perhaps I don't have it as bad as you. What a great story!.
