Merci Bernard Pivot

My mother noticed I had a curse word written in a photo of a recent post then Carolyn pointed out that I used a curse word in a different post. It got me to thinking about my favorite curse word and then that led me to think about Benard Pivot's questionnaire made infamous by Inside the Actor's Studio's host James Lipton...

What is your favorite word? cake
What is your least favorite word? fag
What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]? travel
What turns you off? inequality
What is your favorite curse word? Bugger!
What sound or noise do you love? the roar of a crowd cheering
What sound or noise do you hate? "Ladies and Gentlemen, there has been a slight delay..."
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? painter
What profession would you not like to do? doctor
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "So, any questions?"

James Lipton can make anything sound significant and memorable. I loved him best when he and Jane Fonda stood together doing ballet positions.
