Swearing can be very therapeutic when used in moderation. After the release of pent up frustration one can refocus ones thought and energy on the problem. I learnt this from my father

who, while not a swearer, would occasionally throw the toys out, say something like 'bugger it' and storm off for a few minutes. Then often have the problem beat in the next 10-15 minutes. I've tried to follow his lead but without the same success

Hmmm, now why doesn't that sound very optimistic?
My scopes just get called 'the dobs', 'the frac' and 'the schmidt', though some years it should be 'rusty' 'dusty' and 'doorstop'.
