Swearing (F bombs)

Posted on by

This is a shout out for my dear friend, Dave.  “Hey you, yeah you, F You!”.  Dave and I used to utilize this language when boating on lakes or rivers as high school punks.  Dave was and is a very colorful and extremely intelligent man who always made me laugh and still can.

Growing older,16 or 17,Dave and I recognized that humor didn’t have to be profanity laced.  Tom taught us this value. Dave and I would get a kick out of my brother, Tom, probably during a stint of Lent, using phrases such as, “That guy is a sack of potatoes”, rather than, “What a sack of shit”.  Dave was wonderful because laughter is so medicinal.   He recognized Tom’s sense of humor, and our free summers at the lake were magical.  Tom, in terrific shape, and four years our senior would say funny things such as,  “Listen you pack of cigarettes, stay away from these guys”.  No one wished to mess with my brother, Tom, including Dave and me, but it was pretty cute hearing one of my idols not requiring profanity to be tough.

Dave and I remain great friends, yet sadly, we don’t see or talk with one another as much as I’d enjoy.  When seeing him at our 20 year high school reunion, he did not disappoint.  Selfishly, I thought to myself, “I chose great friends”…..we just chose different paths.

  1. It was truly wonderful to see you at the reunion, Britt too I suppose. My vocal cords and abdominal muscles have just recently recovered from laughing for 5 days straight. Mr. Treecraft’s obituary is very popular down here by the way.

    I consider myself very lucky and blessed to have known people like you and your family. I always smile when I think back about those times (even when your brothers and their friends beat us to death in the basement). Tom’s lessons in “creative” language have been a great help with my kids and the kids I coach in Pee Wee Football. It is much nicer when I yell “flowers and puppies” rather than unleashing a stream of obsenities that would make even the most grizzled longshoreman blush.

    I’m a little selfish too, we did choose great friends.

    Thanks for the shout out.
