No Motherfucking in the Dairy
I just heard one of the most impressive standalone statements I have ever heard. It may actually guide me through the rest of my life.
I stopped at the UDF on Winton Road on the way to a client meeting to get a bag of Grippos and a Coke.
An older woman and a younger woman walked in right behind me. The younger woman was loudly detailing a conflict she had experienced with someone they both appeared to know, and was using a lot of profanity.
The older woman interrupted her with the command: ‘Stop Motherfucking, we in The Dairy’.
The younger girl immediately stopped swearing and lowered her voice.
The reference to ‘The Dairy’, and the authority in her voice, almost seemed to sanctify UDF.
It was impressive.
And now I know: You do not Motherfuck in The Dairy. Under no circumstances.
