Talking Shit, 1897 Style

The Robert Edward Auction House is auctioning a 1897 document originally sent to all national league baseball players banning the use of foul language. Most amazingly, much (if not all) of the trash talking outlined in this document is still used today.
My favorite? "A dog must have fucked your mother when she made you." Runner up: "I'll make you suck my ass."

I love this stuff. It helps to show that our society isn't going to hell in a hand basket, people have *always* been like this. Posted by: polamex at December 3, 2007 8:06 PM |
