SPOILER ALERT
If have not read Quiz #11. The F-Word just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen?
A. My brother is a fire chief and his love of the f-word is even more developed than my own. He knows about my firetruck-f-word joke and also knows that I do not like anyone to use the f-word on my work-issued iPhone. Last week he texted me, “We’re all firetrucked, right?”
B. A co-worker sent me a screengrab of Winnie the Pooh that’s been making the rounds on social media. It shows Pooh and Piglet out on a walk--and Pooh says “Back the f*ck up Piglet;”
C. I worked on a document with a co-worker. I wrote the first draft and emailed it to my co-worker. The co-worker revised it and sent it back. I read the rewrite and drafted my response. I began with a one word paragraph at the top, “Perfect.” In the next paragraph, I suggested a plan for how we might share the document. I emailed my response back to co-worker and asked for thoughts on my distribution plan. The response from my co-worker, “You had me at ‘hello’”--a reference to that gold standard word, “perfect;”
D. My daughter Annie is a psychiatric social worker and still commuting to work in New York City. This morning, she posted a picture on Facebook of some graffiti she saw on the subway. It read, “F*ck the virus.” I shared it on my Facebook feed;
E. I texted Annie and told her that I’d seen her Facebook post--and I told her that I loved it. I also remarked that one good thing that’s happened with the coronavirus is that we’ve become “friends” on Facebook to make it easier to stay in touch. She texted back, “Gotta find those silver linings where you can” followed by “Love New York.” I responded, “I love ‘f*ck.’” Her response, “Perfect.’”
My brother is a fire chief, he loves the f-word more than me and he knows about my firetruck joke, but he did not send me a text with "firetruck" replacing the f--word.
