...my 92 year old mom said on election night "shit - that MF is going to win". Dad was a sailor so I know it was in the household vocabulary but I'd never heard an off color word from her in my life. Guess a lot of things are changing with Trumpenfuhrer.

My dad was just as outspoken. Days before he passed away he was rushed to the ER. The doctor was asking him the usual questions to determine his mindset. When he asked if he knew who the President was, Dad said " He's the goddamned SOB who got us into the war in Iraq". The doctor just smiled.

My great aunt had a stroke during the Reagan administration. To check her lucidity, the attending medical professionals asked her if she knew who the president was. She said yes, but ask me who my Senators and Congressmen are so I don't have to mention that SOB's name. The entire room burst out in laughter.
