Approved Cussing

As none of you know, I am an Economics major at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Today in class, not more than fifteen minutes ago, I was called to the front of the room to help participate in an economics sketch designed to show the relationship between a monopolistic company and a consumer. (the professor picked me because of an apparently deep voice that's easy to listen to...i still don't understand why people keep informing me of this trait) Anyway, I could see a phrase on the script involving a word defined as "#!@#@#$@," and it was quickly approaching. I was worried. I was scared. Should I swear? Should I not swear? Should I blush, timidly, and skip over the entire sentence? Should I run crying out of the room? Nope, I went for it, just went and said that nice cuss word in front of the entire class. I looked to the professor for his reaction. He was surprised, but said it was alright. I have just committed cussing sanctioned by the Economic Department of UW-Eau Claire.
