Dear Americans,

[blamebrampton]

On the whole, I love you. I have long loved many of your countrymen, sometimes from afar as with Frank Capra and Katherine Hepburn, and sometimes from up close as with some very lucky young people in the 1980s and '90s.

I think your land is beautiful, your governments uniformly mad, your religious leaders alternately inspiring and depressing and your jazz miraculous.

But.

I would like to impose a rule on you all. If you cannot say the word penis, you may not handle, draw, write about or otherwise involve yourself with them. Babytalk derivatives do not count. Similarly, the F-bomb and C-bomb may no longer be. "That person used an expletive I am not comfortable with" or "Fuck me! She said cunt!" are your two options.

That is all, please go about your business.

With love,
Brammers

Huh? I think I missed a memo on euphemisms somewhere along the line. You are totally right. You have my permission to proceed with whatever corrective action you deem necessary to punish the offenders (whose material I obviously have NOT read :-)

(Could it be that they are VERY young??? I LIKE my Anglo-Saxon words!)

One of the offenders is very young, the one I read in a fic is age indeterminate, and some of the F-Bombers live in vowel states, so I suppose I should be kinder (digs out memo on how to achieve that)
