Milwaukee resident Terry Duncan got the surprise of his life when after cursing during a ride on a Milwaukee County bus, an undercover cop presented him with a $500 ticket for his behavior. Cops are apparently cracking down on unruly riders in the cheese state.

Duncan told reporters:

"I cursed, and it cost me $500. Are you serious? Where in America do you get charged $500 for two words? I said, 'What do I get this ticket for? What did I do wrong?' 'You were on the bus and using profane language. You were cursing on the bus.' I said, 'Cursing on the bus? Are you serious?'"

So the jist of it is, dude got a ticket for saying "fuck" and "shit" in the course of a normal conversation with his buddy on the bus, and a undercover cop who was on the bus gave him a disorderly conduct ticket for $500.

Good, it needs to start somewhere. Might as well be on bus in Milwaukee. A few months ago my wife and I were at dinner and the family (yes, family) seated close to us were swearing like sailors. Its uncomfortable to be hearing this in public eventhouhg I do speak like this at time with friends. But never that loudly in a public place.

Oh-boo-fucking-hoo!
Who is it going to hurt hearing a curse word?

Parents need to worry about a lot more important things than what their children hear in public.
