The last post reminded me of a story regarding Bess Truman, the wife of President Harry Truman. President Truman was from the "Show Me" state of Missouri and had the habit of using the word manure. One day a woman happened to have a chance to meet with Mrs. Truman and asked for a favor. This woman said she didn't like the fact that the president used the word manure, and would Mrs. Truman kindly ask the president to quit using the word.
Mrs. Truman thanked the lady and replied, "As course as the word manure sounded, it was much better to the word the president used to use."
