31. My old man left Ohio many years ago.

Dec 2013

He was one tough son of a bitch union organizer, proud member of the 483rd Bombardment Group during the Big One, and he was a gentleman. He did not cuss. He did not read girlie magazines either.

People of his generation (my parents) didn't cuss severely, they thought it was a sign of poor breeding and inability to express yourself, but were very expressive with goddamn, bitch, bastard, jackass and son of a bitch.

He once told me about the various kinds of bastards you have to watch out for

He was from Ashtabula and got tired of shoveling that godforsaken lake effect snow. So he went to Houston.

But hey, knowing I'm one-half Yankee, I'm glad to know Ohio is outstanding in something that can be creative, especially in foreign languages!!

Figlio da putana!!
