I dreamt I was in a Scrabble contenst. While playing with one of the opponents, I've noticed that there were Scrabble words from last seasons' winners that involved profanities, namely the words A-hole and the S-word. In spite of my distain and concern from them, I just ignored it, pressed on playing. A short time later, the host of the contest walked behind me, and said to me "Hey, you should play this word!" I looked at the letters on my stand, which spelled...the F-word, followed by '-er". The discussion then went like this:
Me: "Sorry, but...I-I can't do that".
Host: "Come on, it's worth triple the points."
Me: (looking at the board, confused) "Wait....I don't see any Triple point spots to put it on."
Host: "No, I mean you INNATELY get Triple points if you use that, plus an extra double or triple points if it lands on either of those."
I couldn't believe my ears, the host WANTS me to gain extra points, whether or not I used Double or Triple point boxes just for using SWEAR WORDS?!
Me: "Eh...sorry but no thanks."
Host: (beginning to run out of patience) "You do want to win, don't you?"
Me: "No, I just want to do the best I can."
Host: "But don't you want to be famous?"
Me:"I don't care about that, either! Plus, they're overrated!"
Host: (gets more irritated) "Young man, you do realise their just WORDS, right?"
Me: "Well, if it's true, then WHY are you making such a huge deal over me NOT using them?!"
Host: (boils over even more) "Young man, I'm going to ask you again, play the F-word in order to get extra points!"
Me: "I think you're confusing 'asking' with 'demanding', dude. Sorry, isn't that a violation of-?"
Host: (finally snaps) "That's it, young man! You are hereby disqualified from the Scrabble contest, and you're not coming back!"
And then the host grabbed my arm, dragged me to the door, and threw me out of the building.
Well, so much for "free speech"!
Man, no wonder why I hate strong profanities so much!
