Another example of censorship is Rainman - Dustin Hoffman's famous speech about Quantas being the only airline not to have a crash is completely left out of the airline version - so you're left wondering why the brothers decide to drive across the country...</font>
Nowadays they could have just driven to Louisville and flown Southwest to LAX. Would have made the movie less interesting, but perhaps Hoffman's character could have multipled everyone's boarding pass numbers together or something.... Twenty-nine and thirty, the first group, the first group, definitely the first group

It is also, techincally, perfectly acceptable to use that word in general conversation here. BUT, do it in a corporate environment, and you are gonna get some funny looks.</font>
I generally agree with this statement, but most TV stations did use the word penis when covering the Lorena Bobbitt story. I mean, what other word could you use?
