   There is a fellow that comes in to my shop every other day to     
   use the can and the phone (usually in that order, but I     
   digress..) and on a bad day, the swear words are emitted like     
   rapid-fire as he emotes about certain problems.  Most of the     
   time no one else is in the shop (because of the restrictions to     
   retail shopping). He'll tend to not be aware of his surroundings     
   when someone *does* walk in - and continue with his swearing..     
   and I have to chide him like a little child to please exercise     
   some resraint.  He's in his 70s.  He actually resembles (and     
   sounds like) Yosemite Sam (from the Bugs Bunny cartoons). I'll     
   have to play him the swearing mashup of Yosemite that Darly     
   pointed out.
