Subject: QOTD for Monday June 4

The following quote is taken from Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 1, A New Beginning, Copyright © 1991 by Diana Gabaldon, All Rights Reserved.

Frank nodded, letting his unscholarly forelock fall across his forehead. He pushed it back automatically. "Interesting," He said, "the whole evolution of profanity."
"Yes, and it's still going on," I said, carefully picking up a lump of sugar with the tongs.
"Oh?" said Mr. Bainbridge politely. "Did you encounter some interesting variations during your, er, war experience?"
"Oh, yes," I said. "My favorite was one I picked up from a Yank. Man named Williamson, from New York, I believe. He said it every time I changed his dressing."
"What was it?"
"'Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ,'" I said, and dropped the sugar lump neatly into Frank's coffee.

[> I related to Claire in these scenes - being herself and totally oblivious to shocking her audience - and it really wasn't her fault, she wasn't using the obscenity, only quoting. I've been there, done that. -- jayn, 05:12:26 06/04/12 Mon
