One summer I worked for a cattle buyer who never swore. A week of rain had the corrals knee deep in mud and a long legged Holstein bull had jumped the fence into a pen holding short legged Hereford heifers. Boss was struggling through the mud in a vain attempt to separate the bull from his reluctant lovers and getting madder by the minute. He finally raised his fists to the sky and shouted “Jeepers Creepers!” I laughed so hard I almost fell off the fence.

lol, now that you're older do you balk at the notion that swearing is bad, but hitting your kid in the face is appropriate? No offense to your upbringing, but that's ridiculous.
