A couple weeks or so ago, at my (non-electronic) day job, I had to
change the lamp in an outdoor halogen fixture.

The replacement lamp was (and still is) one of those common 300 watt T3
double-ended lamps. As in a bare-capsule halogen lamp that is highly
loaded probably by fill gas pressure (especially when warmed-up) and
definitely by ratio of power input to bulb area. What I mean here is that
this is one of those halogen lamps that require cleaning after being
touched by human skin.

So, I was holding this freshly-cleaned halogen lamp in a napkin, but I
dropped it before I got it up the ladder. Some of the ceramic at one of
the ends chipped off. (This particular halogen lamp is working
fine-and-dandy in a suitable enclosed fixture anyway.)

But as a result of myself dropping the lamp, I yelled "$#!+". I was
around coworkers and a couple customers and my immediate supervisor there.

My supervisor said, "You're cussin', Don?"

I said in response, "Yes".

The boss then told me, "You gotta do better than that!"

I in response "largely repeated" a bit of the "Mr. Grinch Song" that I
repeated exactly a few days before, while I was in a "dangerously good
mood" that I wanted to maintain while being hit with a flat tire on one
of the delivery bikes that I need to keep running.

How about:

"Your soul is an apalling dumpheap,
overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment
of deplorable rubbish imagineable,
mangled up,
In tangled-up-knots!"

My variation:

"Your very essence is the stench
of a restaurant kitchen-sink greasetrap
that has been needing to be unclogged,
For twenty-five years!"

Something along these lines could be useful to someone turning a
6-inch putt into a 4-foot putt where 4-letter words are unrepeatable or
unallowed, or when a prototype (as predicted by Murphy) waits for a more
embarassing moment to fail in an embarassing way where the prototyper
needs to be "on better behavior".

I have at a few times yelled out loud, in entirety,
"And the horse you rode in on!"

More often, I would yell "Poop" or occaisionally "Poopifications!"

Not that I completely manage to avoid saying "4-letter words" where I
am not supposed to, but I do that fairly well.

My parents used to sometimes say during my childhood "love a duck" or
less often "rubber duck" when hit with bad news. My father also often
said then, "mother goose", especially when something went *phut* or
when something slipped in a way that caused pain or broke something.

I surely think that plenty of people like to see specks in other peoples'
eyes as best as they can see or imagine around the logs in their own eyes.

One thing that I admit is that "I'm still working on it" for approach
to ideally be 100% better than that. My nominal religious faith says that
only one human "achieved 100% sinlessness" while living long enough to
learn to talk and before kicking the bucket so far in this planet's
history, around 2,000 years ago.

Actually, Mother Teresa came pretty dang close to a number two.

The phrase, 'You suffering son of a Siberian sheep shipper' was a
common substitute at Ft. Greely, Ak. :)
