    I would’ve liked to be under Gen. Washington’s regiment; I despise swearing too.

    When I hear swearing just for the sake of swearing, it tells me that man or boy is immature and trying to come across by displaying some kind of ‘man-hood’ Explain to me then why do young girls swear and use the ‘F’ word so much

    Whenever I hear priggish complaining about how other people choose to speak, it tells me the complainer will try anything to feel morally and intellectually superior to others -‘Sticks and stones’, folks…

    For all the credit he gets in helping to found what was once the freest nation on Earth, Washington was no Jefferson.

    I find eating an ice cream cone makes my moustache sticky. Obviously Chupa Chups have the same effect!

    A very wise man once told me that, profanity is a weak mind expressing itself. And you know what? He was 100% correct.

    The rule of Washington should be applied again.

    They say that when Washington caught up with the fleeing Lee at Monmouth, strong men fainted, the air turned blue for miles around, and chickens throughout New Jersey laid only square eggs for the next seven years. But the difference is that Lee deserved it.

    Chupa Chups are from Spain. They’re internationally famous, but not well known in the English-speaking world.

    Given the size of Washington’s bar tab by the end of the war, I have to wonder just how strictly that no swearing ban was enforced
