Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for March 09, 2020

It’s a curse….that he has to put up with.

He swears to uphold editorial standards.

Did the force of his words propel him back to his branch?!

Black Belt? Ninja, please! Ain’t no thing…

Nah, that’s nothing. My dad had black belts in three languages.

“In the heat of battle, my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.”

“Letters” that neither my typewriter or computer has too.

LUV those magic words. They’ve helped get jars open, pick up things I’ve dropped, find things I’ve lost. . .

Hit your shin on the coffee table corner while walking through the living room at night, can turn you into an instant black belt.

Shoe must have been a sailor.

They are also useful when Instagram rejects your correct password.

My roomie in college had one. He was incredibly inventive when it came to swearing.

“Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.” Mark Twain

He’s got a PhD – Piled Higher and Deeper.

The only PERSON I know?

Shoe just went from bad to curse.

So he needs a belt in the mouth.

NOT “obscenities” – adult language. Hollywood changing their labeling is why so many people now curse even in normal conversations.

I always wondered why “cursive” means what it does instead of what it implies.
