Dave Smith is on his death bed and knows the end is near.
His nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons are with him at his home in London.
He asks for 2 independent witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in place to record his last wishes.
When all is ready he begins to speak:
"My son, Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair houses."
"My daughter, Sybil, you take the apartments over in the East end."
"My son, Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in the City."
"Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings on the banks of the Thames ."
The nurse and witnesses are blown away. They did not realize the extent of his holdings.
As Dave slips away, the nurse says to his wife,
"Mrs. Smith, my deepest condolences.
Your husband must have been such a hard-working and wonderful man to have accumulated all this property…………..
"Property?”, Sarah Smith replies. “The arsehole had a window cleaning round."

Great news if you love swearing because you're smarter than most (Source: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S038800011400151X)

We f**ing knew already.

Irish people have a unique appreciation for swear words because they've somehow managed to take the taboo subject of bad language and turn it into an art form.

Think about all those words that are unique to their 32 counties like bollix, gowl, geebag, gobshite and more.

I've just cursed so much that Three Hail Marys are in order, but there's some good news for those shitehawks that love to swear because it turns out that you're smarter than most.

A recent piece of research in the Language Sciences journal by US-based psychologists Kristin Jay and Timothy Jay has dismissed the long-held belief that swearing is a sign of inarticulateness.

Their hypothesis aimed to disprove the theory that people who f**ing swear can't think of any other poxy words that are more socially acceptable to use.

60 candidates were asked to list as many swear words as they possibly could in a brief period of time but they were then asked to quickly list words from other categories too.

The research showed that "taboo fluency is positively correlated with other measures of verbal fluency" meaning that people who frequently use bad language have a fairly extensive vocabulary along with a good understanding of the social environment that's around them.

There you have it, if one of your friends keeps accusing you of swearing too much then the correct reply is... "Go f** yourself!"

On that note, any excuse to include this clip is always very welcome:
