F-Bomb just dropped on NBC!
During live coverage of the NASCAR BGN race, they were monitoring crew/driver conversations and someone dropped the F-bomb. The announcers apologized for it. Will NBC be fined by the FCC??

4. Not that long ago...
Clients came to me, their name was Mr. and Mrs. Fukes (rhymes with pukes)

After I got to know them somewhat, invariably the topic of their last name came up...All they did was put their little sophisticated ears on, held their heads up high and after three glasses of wine laughed hysterically, telling me they were in the process of adding an "L" between the FU...we laughed again. But, I said, a fluke is a parasite..

Mr. Fukes had been tormented terribly when he attended school and seeing Mrs. Fukes was with child he lamented pitifully, he didn't want the child to suffer as he did... I suggested going with Smith or Wesson, if change was in the air.

5. Our mall had a store named the
FLICK. Sans serif, all caps, all square letters closely spaced. I can't believe it was accidental.

11. Reminds Me Of A Photo
a guy sent me once, of a Chinese sushi bar named "Fuk Mi."

I could imagine how they answered the phone there...."Fuck me, can I help you??"

Speaking of which, once, when I worked for Dun & Bradstreet, and had to call businesses to gather various data...the guy to talk to, at the time, at Benihana's of Tokyo, was a guy named Long Proung...and he pronounced it "Long Prong."

Cracked me up!

19. Here's another...
There used to be a store in Garden City, KS (which has a large community of Vietnamese immigrants) called "Phouc Dat".

I used to chuckle about it and finally asked a Vietnamese guy I worked with what it meant and his laughing reply was "Somebody got sense of humor... that not vietnamese!" :D

9. Many Moons Ago...
when this 33 year old was just a kid, my dad did business with a guy named Fred Fuchs...and he pronounced it "Fucks." I still remember this, because I thought it was funny.
Especially seeing as how, when this man would come over for a dinner invite...I had to refer to him as "Mr. Fucks" yet, if I'd said the F-Bomb any other time, I'd've gotten my mouth washed out with soap!!

Talk about your mixed messages!! :P

6. It happens during baseball games all the time
Sometimes you can hear the player yell it and sometimes you can just see that that's what they're saying. The announcers never say anything about it but kids and all ages of folks watch baseball games on TV and most of them are on a Fox regional sports net channel. How many of them do you think will ever get fined? I personally don't give a shit what they say and I'm a huge baseball fan and I have a filthy mouth :) But the hypocrisy just pisses me off to no end.

16. The difference between this and
Edited on Sun Jul-11-04 09:20 AM by graham67
something accidentially caught at a baseball game is that this wasn't played live. They monitor the conversations then pick and choose what they want to play on a delay. Someone in the control booth screwed up. ;)

The original post is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I don't really give a fuck what anyone says on TV. :D

10. Oh, it does.
Only a team that is very disiplined in NOT cursing will not have a cloud of epithets above it's pits. And when it comes to the drags, well, lets just say that there are at least 12 different ways to described the condition of the first 60 feet of the track that can be related with simply the inflection of the F word.

Tim Russert will not be permitted to ask any junta spokesman about anything more complicated than his favorite color until Labor Day.

21. One of my former client's names was "Ufuk"
This is when I was in sales. I called to talk to him and asked the receptionist if I could talk to U.... u.... ( I hadn't looked at the name carefully before I dialed.)

She was used to it. She said, "Who fuck, you fuck? Hold on....."

His coworkers all called him "Ooofie." I think he was Turkish.
