When I FIRST arrived up here in Canada, I was rather astounded
(having grown up in the US Of A, where the Kingston Trio sang
[on air] "Well, I don't give a <curious pause> about a greenback
dollar") to hear, ON AIR, a complete and UNexpurgated recording
by Firesign Theatre...which included most, if not ALL, of George
Carlin's "Seven Words...!"

Curious...we now have the "seven-second delay," but I'm not sure
if anyone actually gives a <F-word> about whether mere "d**ns"
or "h*lls", let alone more "serious" obscenities, grace the airwaves?!

I have personally heard pre-school tykes rattle off series of  "bad
words" that would have done honour to my USAF Drill Instructor!?
