Cuss Jar Fund Raiser aka Money Swears
I announced at the UU of Miami that I was going to set up a "cuss jar" at my house as a fund raiser of sorts. Self imposing a fine when I said out loud " mother^$*()" when I should have just said "oh well". Speaking to the minister after the service about my announcement he commented on a "Guest at Your Your Table" which was a Thanksgiving to Christmas fund raiser for the UU Service Committee. You were supposed to make a donation daily which would be approximately what it would cost to feed another mouth. In concept it's good, its execution poses problems. The minister volunteered that he would be a bad candidate for a "cuss jar" as he never swore. Conversation complete, I instinctively rolled my eyes and said a silent "oh well".
