My father was in the army, and you know not to talk about things on the telephone that you wouldn't want to hear transmitted.

There's absolutely nothing anyone can say about my mother or myself or my step-father that we haven't heard before. You'd have to be a Dickens or a Nabakov to come up with something really offensive.
