Cuss Words

One day in the third grade at St. Bede the Venerable Catholic School the teacher was giving an English lesson. She asked the class what your feet would feel like after walking for ten miles with no shoes. I enthusiastically raised my hand and the teacher allowed me to answer.

"Your feet would hurt like hell!"

After class was brought back to order, I was promptly sent to the disciplinarian and given one hour's detention after school. On that day, I learned one of the differences between polite English and cuss-words.
