The case for crap.

There is a misconception in my office that I don’t cuss often… while I frequently use the word “crap”; “shit” seldom slips from my lips.   Here’s why…
 
It is my assertion that “crap” is more applicable for the workplace. Crap takes effort whereas shit, as the saying goes, just happens.  Crap may be produced with little to no effort, other times it takes significant strain. Once produced, satisfactorily or not;  you can declare it as good or bad crap.   Given time all this crap turns to shit anyways lets not rush it. The time for this transformation is just a factor of its original quality; indeed the half-life of crap when consumed is so short that it is immediately perceived to be shit.  Which is where I end my case; as the last thing you want to do (and may be capable of doing - according to your well wishers) is to eat shit.
 
So the next time you want to use the word “shit” at work, consider “crap” as a more appropriate choice and smile inwardly that people think you’re so polite for not cussing while knowing that you're really full of shit.

P.S. On the golf course it is a completely different story.
