The Swear Jar

What do you gain when you swear? Probably only the look-good and feel-good vibe. Most people are unaware how this behaviour influences others around them, especially young children.

I find myself amongst men of various backgrounds and skill sets due to the nature of my work. Everytime that “f” word is said in the office, the sound waves goes flying across the room, causing great pain in yours truly’s ear drums.

Hence, the Swear Jar is birthed. A coin donation is required everytime the unnecessary word is uttered. Proceeds go to buying milk and biscuits supply.

I’m not mean. I insist.

    I totally agree with you! One of the student lounge also has a swear jar. Everytime someone swears, it's 25 cents...hehe! that will go towards getting snacks...I really don't know why it's a norm for them to swear so much!

    Teng, swearing is meant to be therapy to a person's mind. Saying a bad word is like releasing the negative from your body :p Shame on you putting pressure on those in your office who can't help it... you could have just worn ear-plugs to solve the problem :) jk

    what's wrong with your MSN?
