Isn't it strange how a well-placed cuss word can transform something from un-funny to funny? For example, I was playing Monopoly with Christina, her brother, her sister and her brother-in-law. I landed on New York Avenue, which had a hotel on it and was owned by Christina's brother. After I paid him the rent, he said thanks for staying at New York Avenue and that there would be a mint on my pillow. So the next time I landed on one of his properties, I said, "where's my fucking mint?" and everyone busted up laughing. Would anyone have laughed if I asked," where's my mint"? I doubt it. But "where's my fucking mint?" did the trick.
