Reason to cuss???

[Salty]

Caught the tail end of an ABC talk show (155 pm ET)

They stated that a study showed that people who cuss are more honest???

I found these links when I googled:

Extensive Study Shows People Who Swear a Lot are More Honest than Those Who Don't

A new study linking profanity to honesty shows people who curse are more authentic

The Science Is in: People Who Swear are More Honest Than People Who Don't

Which is why Peter swore to deny he knew Jesus.

I think they should let me ask them some questions.

Sounds bogus to me.

However, perhaps you will not mind the following “commentary.”

A preacher was making his rounds on a bicycle, when he came upon a little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. “How much do you want for that mower?” asked the preacher.

“I just want enough money to go out and buy a bicycle,” said the little boy.

After a moment of consideration, the preacher asked, “Will you take my bike in trade for it?”

The little boy asked if he could try it out first, and, after riding the bike around a little while, said, “Mister, you’ve got yourself a deal.”

The preacher took the mower and began to try to crank it. He pulled and pulled on the rope with no response from the mower. The preacher called the little boy over and said, “I can’t get this mower to start.”

The little boy said, “That’s because you have to cuss at it to get it started.”

The preacher said, “I’m a minister, and I can’t cuss. It’s been so long since I’ve cussed that I don’t even remember how to cuss.”

The little boy looked at him happily and said, “Just keep pulling on that rope. It’ll come back to ya.”

I can think of a lot of reasons to cuss.

My dad heard an elderly preacher on the radio, several years back, complaining about another preacher who was ahead of him at the check-out at Walmart. The radio preacher said that when the other preacher got to the cash register, he asked the cashier if preachers received discounts.

The radio preacher said that he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to start cussing just so people wouldn't think he was a preacher.

I had a fellow I worked with once tell me he had to pull his son off a city league basketball team because the coached cussed the kids none stop.

The coach was a local baptist pastor.
