With all the talk these days of profanity and obscenity I reflect on a situation years ago during a softball game.

The pitcher could not get the ball within three feet of the plate. Finally, he yells to me, "Where in the f!!! do you want me to put it." My response was, "Outta here!"

The team manger came up to me and appealed on why I threw him out saying, he didn't curse.

Now my upbringing was in a highly religious Kentucky family where "shoot" was a curse word. But here in New York the f-word is regarded as ultimate word for any situation and it is not cursing according to the locals.

So, in answer to the initial posting. It depends upon where you are if a flag is appropriate.
