other than even starting in the first place

I think it has more to do with my language. The kids next door get a real
vocabulary lesson when I'm working on a car.

I think the problem is, when I'm trying to do something and I say "God
damn it!", he *DOES* and it makes it ten times worse.

Next time I think I'll try "God bless it!" and see what happens!

You're probably not holding your mouth just right when you say it.

As someone told me, I'm using the wrong language to boot.

I need to have Ray drill me in Japanese 'explitives'...

My old dog used to hide when she saw me carrying a wrench.

The new dog (I've had her for a year) was s stray. I'm pretty sure my family
changed her name. I suspect it was Damn It -- as in, come here Damn It --
because whenever I mutter, "God damn it," she comes over and climbs in my
lap.

But the problem is, we have Japanese cars. One of the mechanics I have
said, they don't understand English, so he learned a few choice words in
Japanese for when he works on Toyotas and Hondas...

I doubt if I know 10 Japanese words. I know ichiban (Number 1). I know
dozo means please, but there was a slightly different pronunciation used on
ships to mean "steady as she goes". I know the words for oood morning,
good afternoon and good evening, but I don't know how to spell them aright.
ohiogosimas, konichiwa, kombowa is how Dad used to pronounce them, but I'm
sure that's not quite right.
