After the Fifth Time, We'll Warn You Quite Sternly!

If you stop for a moment you can see that this is just another example of how this government and supporters of its methods of governing fail to consider the pitfalls that hasty policies produce.

I doubt for one moment that the head-teacher concerned has given any thought to the real problems behind his new policy. I mean, are all expletives to be given the same value - are we really to believe that a wank is as important as a fuck? Surely there should be some hierarchy of expletives and a points system at least. And you really cannot have a bugger being treated the same way as a shithead, can you? - for goodness sake, they're poles apart.

There's no thought been given either to the compound expletive - e.g 'oh, fuck-shit-bugger-wank-arseholes' - is this to count as one or five expletives. Sorry, but it is absolutely clear to me that the whole exercise is doomed to failure from the start.

I have an easy solution. Assign a value of zero to all of them, and the math works out perfectly.
