Who knew every soldier I knew was a medic? And injured all the time ...

Researchers from the school of psychology at Britain's Keele University have found swearing can make you feel better as it can have a "pain-lessening effect," according to a study published in the journal NeuroReport.

Clearly, they were all under medication:



My so-called digital camera is a $9.99 model so forgive the quality. The key information is below:

Cursing Relief

Active Ingredients: H*lycr*p, G*dd*mn, Sh*t, M*th*rf*ck, S*n*f*b*tch, J*s*sf*ck*ng-Chr*st, Ginseng.

Dosage: As Needed.

Children 12 and under use Darn, Dang, and Shoot.

Children 6 and under use only Spongebob swearing such as Fish Paste and Tartar Sauce.

Keep out of reach of children

I wonder if this will be a covered medication under nationalized medicine?

That's serious self medication.
