  A young couple got married & went on a cruise for their honeymoon.

  When they got back from the honeymoon, the bride immediately
  called her mother, who lived a couple of hours away.

    "Well, darling," said her mom, "how was the honeymoon?"
    "Oh, mother," she replied, "the honeymoon was wonderful! So
    romantic, we had a terrific time! But, mother, as soon as we
    returned, Sam began using really horrible language... Stuff
    I'd never heard before... Really terrible 4-letter words...
    You've got to come get me and take me home... PLEASE MOTHER!"

  And the new bride began to sob over the telephone.

  But honey," the mother countered, "WHAT 4-letter words?"

   "I can't tell you, mother," said the daughter, "they're too
    awful! COME GET ME, P L E A S E !!!"
   "Darling daughter, you must tell me what has you so upset...
    Tell mother the 4-letter words!"

  Still sobbing, the bride said, "Mother....words like:
