Learning to Cuss

Two little kids, aged six and eight, decide it's time to learn how to swear. So, the eight-year-old says to the six-year-old:

- Okay, you say 'ass' and I'll say 'hell'.

All excited about their plan, they troop downstairs, where their mother asks them what they'd like for breakfast.

- Aw, hell - says the eight-year-old, gimme some Cheerios.

His mother backhands him off the stool, sending him bawling out of the room, and turns to the younger brother:

- What'll you have?

- I dunno - quavers the six-year-old, but you can bet your ass it ain't gonna be Cheerios.
