Imaine for a moment that I have set up an imainary Bad Word Jar and each person who visits my blo had to place one imainary dollar for each time they have cursed, cussed, swore, or uttered any form of profanity within the past twenty-four hours. How much imainary money would you have to place in my Bad Word Jar?
Oh, there is already three imainary dollars in there from me.
I am first?? Yeah!!
None. Sorry .. but none. Now.. THINK the words, well, you'd get rich.

Sh*t...er, I'm mean, geez, well that's hard to say! I lose count! :)
Posted by: Kate | June 24, 2005 at 02:19 PM
eh... I think it depends on what the definition of "bad word" is... is... :)
Posted by: Dingo | June 24, 2005 at 02:29 PM
Oh, man. You're rich off of me! I couldn't even count them if I tried!
Posted by: Samantha | June 24, 2005 at 02:32 PM
Here? I don't see much cursing. Have I done it? Those words just fly out sometimes and I don't realize it.
If I set one up for MYSELF, ME cursing on MY blog, well I'd make myself broke. Except that it would be MY jar, in which case I'd be rich.
Hmm....I'm confused...
Posted by: annie | June 24, 2005 at 02:32 PM
I don't curse often, but sometimes I blurt out a bad, bad word when I am disgusted with myself or others. I think today, you would have only $2 from me. Some days - you'd have a small fortune!

There are some advantages to having a really bad short-term memory. I really don't remember for sure. Probably no more than a buck.
Posted by: Raehan | June 24, 2005 at 02:49 PM
Hmmm I don't believe you would have made anything off of me in the last 24 hours. Damn...OOPS okay you made a $1.00 off me!
Posted by: Cat | June 24, 2005 at 02:50 PM
Can I get a handicapp since I am former military? In one day I would at least owe $100.00
Posted by: Blue | June 24, 2005 at 02:52 PM
I'd say I'd have to put on a few, like maybe $5.
Posted by: indigo | June 24, 2005 at 02:55 PM
It depends. I do swear a lot on my blog, but actually not all that much in real life. And never when QuirkyBoy is present.
Posted by: QC | June 24, 2005 at 03:02 PM
One jar probably wouldn't be enough, I'm ashamed to tell you. . . . .
Posted by: Mamacita | June 24, 2005 at 03:02 PM
well I guess that depends on your definition of bad words.
since I'm so accustomed to talking on the radio it's rare I use any bad words so none for me thank you.
Posted by: tommy | June 24, 2005 at 03:57 PM
Well sh-t, I'm unemployed right now. Can't you give a girl a f-cking break?
Posted by: melissa | June 24, 2005 at 04:10 PM
Oh my. I don't get paid until next Thursday .... but I would owe the jar A LOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Lora | June 24, 2005 at 04:19 PM
$4.50
I only got half a bad word out when I realized my neighbor--a very sweet older lady--could probably hear...
Posted by: Thumper | June 24, 2005 at 04:29 PM
jar ? you measure my profanity in jars ?
you must have a really large storeroom.
i rarely f***ing care about wat i say :P..
Posted by: SEV | June 24, 2005 at 05:29 PM
Maybe I should just sign this week's pay over to the jar.

Boy howdy, am I ever having a good day: Zero dollars!!
Posted by: Old Horsetail Snake | June 24, 2005 at 06:00 PM
4.2 trillion dollars.
It was a long day.
Posted by: Scully | June 24, 2005 at 06:08 PM
I was on a kindergarten field trip so for me ZERO! I have been a good girl.
Posted by: Andrea | June 24, 2005 at 06:39 PM
Maybe a dollar...maybe...but I can't remember. Generally, I don't use potty words..little pitchers, you know. :)
Posted by: angie | June 24, 2005 at 06:46 PM
Some days a whole lot, others, maybe not so much. Today.....awful....
Posted by: Zoots Mom | June 24, 2005 at 07:04 PM
Five dollars and fifty cents (I caught myself once *grin*).
Posted by: Jenni | June 24, 2005 at 07:10 PM
you could buy a new wardrobe with what i owe.
Posted by: honestyrain | June 24, 2005 at 07:16 PM
I think I would just give you my credit card and call it a day.
Posted by: Spring | June 24, 2005 at 07:29 PM
You could retire.
Posted by: Curator | June 24, 2005 at 07:35 PM
Around $37 from me. $35 of which happened within the last 3 hours.
Posted by: Phil | June 24, 2005 at 07:55 PM
Let's just say that you, Michele my dear, would be one wealthy, wealthy woman. And I would be super-poor.
Posted by: True Jersey Girl | June 24, 2005 at 08:36 PM
okay, so just today... eek, i'll have to go to the bank. how about i give you $100 for starters...
Posted by: monique | June 24, 2005 at 10:06 PM
A paycheck....four times a month. LOL
Posted by: chatty | June 24, 2005 at 10:28 PM
I don't curse when i visit your lovely blog. On my own blog, that's another story.
Posted by: christine | June 24, 2005 at 10:50 PM
Maybe a dollar or two, not that I really recall swearing, but I wouldn't be shocked it I did. I keep it pretty clean, that may when I do swear it has a much greater effect.
Posted by: Lora | June 25, 2005 at 12:38 AM
probably about 75$
Posted by: Ivy | June 25, 2005 at 01:38 AM
About $5 :)
Posted by: toni | June 25, 2005 at 06:47 AM
I would say, on average, you'd get $12.00 per day from me.
Posted by: Shannin | June 25, 2005 at 12:51 PM
I'd probably owe the jar about 5 grand...or so. How big is the jar again? ;)
Posted by: aka_monty | June 25, 2005 at 01:12 PM
Oh my, I'm broke. And I owe you MANY a paycheck.
*sigh* I could put a sailor to shame. DH keeps saying 'we' (read *I*) need to start watching my mouth around Little Man.
I can't recall the last bad word I heard my husband say. Me, on the other hand, I say many a day.
Posted by: sarah | June 25, 2005 at 01:22 PM
Let's just say I'd have to sign my paycheck over to you
Posted by: ~Easy | June 25, 2005 at 02:41 PM
I usually don't swear at all. However, I've had a really stressful week at work... so you'd probably would've made $35-40 from me for the week. (That's a lot for me!)
Posted by: Kimberly | June 25, 2005 at 05:38 PM
Does saying them in your head count or only if it's spoken out loud? Either way, I would be totally broke by now. :-)
