A recent study done in England discovered that subjects who cursed while in pain could tolerate the pain longer.Experimental subjects inserted their hands in a bucket of very cold ice water and told to curse repeatedly.Results showed that subjects who repeated "f--- U" kept their hands in the cold water longer than subjects repeating non-curse words.Wow,maybe Canadian doctors can now recommend cursing while their clients wait 9 months for treatment for back pain. Can tipsters think of other practical applications of cursing?
