A joke?

I just received the following email this morning and while it is intended to be a joke, I think it says volumes about the foul language topic.

A young family lived next door to a vacant lot and one day a construction crew arrived and began building a new house.
The family's five year old daughter became interested in all the activity next door and soon was spending much of each day observing the workers. Eventually, the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they took coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

At the end of the week, the men presented her with a pay envelope which contained $2.00.
The little girl took this home to her mother, who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested they take the money she had received to the bank and open a savings account.

When they talked to the bank teller, she was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had earned her very own paycheck at such a young age.
The child proudly replied, "I worked with the crew building the new house next door to us last week!"
"My goodness," said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those a__holes at Home Depot ever deliver the f__kin' sheetrock."

Funny?

You tell me.
 
Oh ..it was a joke? No kidding? Ok, let me try again.

As a joke it's about a 5 on a 10 scale. As a social commentary, it's just sad.
 
True ..... you really have to watch what you say around kids and try and watch what they see on TV.

My 10 year has a mouth like a sewer and he's not getting that from home. He say's it's from school and the bus he rides .... you try hard to protect them but it's a uphill battle to me. I try and talk to him about it ... you know ... what's right and what's not. Well, he leaves home and comes back in, it's the same filth.
