Beingwell known for my somewhat colourful vocabulary, I had a young woman at work pull me aside to inform me that she found my language offensive.
I told her she was lucky, most people find my very presence offensive.

As far as I know she is still trying to figure it out........:cool:

I realize in most cases polite way of saying is shorter than adding foul language in..
