Jump or don't jump, just stop with the F word

So I recently finished A Long Way Down by Nick Hornsby. I really liked the film High Fidelity. I know we could all get distracted by the fact that I saw the movie without reading the book, but this is one of the rare times I haven't read the book. Besides, it would detract from my point. By now you are probably asking what my point is. My point is the F word. Now I can appreciate a good vulgarity when placed appropriately. I can even understand their judicious use in time of stress or high spirits. I can only hope that Mr. Hornsby assigned some sort of hot key on his word processor to that word to avoid a repetitive stress disorder. I thought military personnel were bad, but this set a new standard. Let's just say you wouldn't want to choose this one if you are looking for an audio book for the family road trip.
