FCC Ruling on F-Word

The FCC is ruling that the "F-word" will be acceptable language on public television and radio as long as it does not mean "it". So, when is @#$% Acceptable?

There were at least eleven times in history where the "F" word has been considered acceptable for use. They are:

1. What the @#$% do you mean we are sinking?-- Capt. E.J. Smith of RMS Titanic, 1912
2. What the @#$% was that?-- Mayor Of Hiroshima, 1945
3. Where did all those @#$%ing Indians come from?-- General George Custer, 1877
