18. Vulgarities are also excellent analgesics.

I've stubbed a toe or hammered a thumb all by my lonesome as well as with women and children around, so I've tried both ways.
A good foxy cussin' eases a lot of pain, whereas "Doggone it, that smarts!" only seems to make it worse. :)
In confrontations however I prefer low-key derision.
A good put-down is like placing a carefully applied "Kick Me!" sign on the back of your target.
When the put-down is done properly, all your opponent knows is that suddenly people are sniggering at him/her and he/she hasn't the slightest idea why. :)
