    flowers

    I was reading the paper the other day and word 'tulip' appeared (in relation to the flower of course). I read it straight away as the profanity banned on our esteemed board. Obviously it didn't make grammatical sense and I had to reread the section.

    Has anyone else done this?

    I have used it when I think, and also twice when talking to my wife. She did not understand why something bad would be a pile of tulip

      My wife suggested getting some carp for the pond. I had to stop myself from dropping my kecks and releasing the seals.

        NO, but it did take me about a week on this board to work out what tulip meant!
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          I started typing the words carp, tulip & bulltulip instead of the actual profanities... it’s almost as if I've forgotten what they originally were.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
