When It's OK to Use The F-Word........

Knowing when to use appropriate language is a developed social skill, resulting in a highly developed social grace.

I just thought I would share some of these photos with my Active Rain Peeps, because when I look at each one of them, the first thing that comes to mind is.......OH F%@&!!!!

Wow!  Quite the collection!  I had to put my hand over my mouth while viewing to make sure I didn't say out loud what I was thinking.

Raplh: I could have done without that rat and the bread. The rest were great. This is like the follow up post to the one I wrote last week about someone who told me "Put your money where you mouth is!" Have a good one! Nice to meet you Saturday!

Great photos.  I believe each of those would be a situation where there is no ban on any words!

Ralph, Thank you for a lighthearted start to a Monday and for clarifying appropriate use of the f-bomb!

I felt bad for the mama duck.

The roller coaster spreadeagle bike rider looks like something my son would do.  :)

I am still not a fan of the F word, not very descriptive to me...

My goodness...what a selection...The F word is an understatement on a couple of those...I can think of at least a half dozen others.

F is for Funny!  My reaction to most of them was Holy Crap!

Man, I hope those ducklings made it out alive.

Ralph - I had seen a couple of these before, but not most of them.  The bread one is pretty gross, huh?  I was wondering why the guy in the pickup crushed by a giant tree is smiling.  :)

What a great collection!  I've seen a couple before (e.g. the pick-up dangling from the boat is doing so at the top of a cliff that is at least a couple of hundred feet down), but some of these are chilling.  I hope the one on the roller coaster is Photo-shopped and that the ones with the airplanes and the oncoming wave are tricks of perspective.

Oh, I just looked at the pics again.  I didn't realize it was a mouse in the bread.  I thought it was a leaf when I first looked at it.

Ralph (I double checked the spelling - LOL),

What a stunning collection. When I read the blog post, all I could see was the top of the pole with 3, so I was thinking what could be there causing you to scream the f-word, and then I scrolled down, and OMG, and then the same with every one of the photos, and then after all that tragic I ran into your comment to Melissa, and started laughing...

Hi Ralph... Ummmm, yeah.  These are definitely circumstances where it seems the "F" word would fall short!
