<p>I was thinking this modern society has gone way beyond simple dirty words learned in grade school. I recall the silence in heaven or at least the household when I got angry over a tidbit and fired a word. Punishment was swift and effective.</p><p>Today there isnt much you can do about the verbal pollution in the workplace. The best Ive seen would be on a packed Greyhound bus where an Elder who is tired of the dirty language will loom over the kiddies and shame them into silence for 200 miles with a few simple and nice sentences starting with ... listen you whips, You are young enough to be my grandchildren and I cannot accept your bad words. Ive been 70+ years in life and we dont talk that way on this bus.</p><p>The converstation was short, one way only with simple replies of yes sir, no sir etc. Amazing how young people recall English Class from Public education when put into the corner about something bad.</p><p>Amazing to watch when problems are solved properly. As for myself I keep big mouth shut at work when necessary. Especially when new employees are around and not yet much out of college. It really makes for a happy workplace.</p>
