RAC, so if I were to go around swearing on a continuous basis, my back pain would be more tolerable?
Ha, just kidding. I know that a vocal outcry in reaction to a stub toe helps, no doubt in my mind. It however can be something other than profanity. If you practice it enough, something else will come out other than profane words.
I know.

Good story. Isn't it funny how when you bash your toe, the pain is delayed, but you know it's coming..aww F...k! (I softened that for DRLs ears), but aha! See, there is proof that a "potty mouth" has medicinal benefits :)

DRL, Dad (Paul) use to say "hot-phoe-milley-halley-ha-pot (sp?) instead of saying bad words. Don't know what it means? He said that it was oriental and could not be inturpeted into english???? You got me man? But I liked the way he said it, and the way it sounded.
