Curses - foiled again...

The little boy was caught cursing by his teacher. "Tommy," she said, "you shouldn't use that kind of language. Where did you hear it?" "My pop said it," he replied. "Well, that doesn't matter," explained the teacher, "you don't know even what it means." "I do, too!" Tommy corrected. "It means the car won't start."
