Kmareka is a wonderful forum for exchanging ideas, and the rules of civility, sensibly applied, allow enough breathing room for serious discussion. This is not the place for profanity and gratuitous vulgarity. If profanity is what you are looking for, I’d recommend Jesus’ General.

Narrator:

One day a man was riding a bicycle in the street, on his way to meet friends before going off to his job at the factory. It was a fine day, and the man smiled as he rode through the streets of the town, honking his little horn and waving to the shopkeepers he had grown fond of over the years.

The Jivester hangs out at Correntewire. Ya gotta stop gritting your teeth sometimes and just laugh.
