No need for F-bombs. So overloaded with them everywhere in media and videos. A wise Tire Store owner I knew had this sign posted above the door leading to the workshop area.
“Profanity is a sure sign of a small mind trying to express itself in a big way.”

Tire store owners a special breed. Bishop of Bishop' Tire Stores in Houston once had a guy come in asking for a particular brand of tire. When Bishop told him the price he said another dealer offfered them for substantially less. Bishop said that was a good price and why had he not bought them. They were out if stock he responded. Bishop then said when he did not have them his price was even 20% less than the other dealer. The man left in a huff.
Have to agree. I've heard 10 yr olds using. My dad, from Navy years was above and beyond on some he could conjure up. When I was young, those profanities would pierce my brain terribly.
In his last years he saw your quote and it truly inspired him to "clean up his act".
Way back when I worked in a bar. The owner was one of the, hmm, how to put this, among the men least respectful of traditional morality I ever knew. (I got the job because I knew his wife. If she knew what I knew ...) But there was one guy he disdained, for every other word out of his mouth was the "f" word. I thought, man, if there's a behavior that even AE can't tolerate, that's a behavior I don't want to emulate.

It left an indelible impression on my young mind.

There’s a tire store in New Hampshire near my house. The sign out front says “The best place in town to take a leak”.
You have a winner!

That’s fantastic!

I am so sick of it also.
