in this movember month of moustaches, nobody rocks that mo better than ambrose bierce.
see i wasn’t lying. rocking mo dude.
for those of you who have been stuck in polsmoor for the last 2 – 5, with group showers and without internet access, ambrose was around in 1817 when he wrote ‘the devil’s dictionary’. we’re at the ‘i’s’ already. sorry but the world doesn’t come to a halt just cos you got bust for drug trafficking!
in case you missed them here are the A’s, B’s, C’s, D’s, E’s, Ef’s, G’s and more recently the H’s.
so we’re onto the i’s, the only dirty words i can think of starting with an ‘i’ are…
nope i’ve got nothing for you… um igloo, hardly a dirty word… iiiii… nope still nothing. let’s see what mr bierce can do:
I, pron – I is the first letter of the alphabet, the first word of the language, the first thought of the mind, the first object of affection. the plural is said to be We, but how can there be more than one myself?
