Without going into too much detail about my job, which I refuse to do here, I will tell you that I often deal with bits and pieces of text. Some of those pieces, specifically those that spell (or nearly spell) offensive terms, are problematic. Thus we can be embarASSEd by FUChsia, and such words cause us endless difficulties. One of my coworkers jokingly suggested that we remove all combinations of “F” and “U” just to be safe, and one of the higher-ups replied, “But without ‘FU’ we wouldn’t have any fun!”
Random Quote
I’ve had so many hot, cheesy, corny loves of music in my life. I had a very intense Billy Joel period. So once you’ve really Joeled it up — there’s some good periods of Joel; it’s not all hot cheese. But I can’t judge anyone else for their cheese. I’ve deep-sea dived in the Gouda.
