Pumps' Perplexities

Well the "S" word has made the news......It seems that our
President Bush has used it.......And everyone is aghast.....

There are many opinions for the source or roots of the
'word'....Some are humorous and some may be factual....

This word is in very common usage all through out the
English language.....In Britain, it is used in a TV script
with no problem......There is one episode of South Park
which contained the word over 100 times, if I remember
correctly......

I researched the word on 'google' once and it seems the
source of the word goes all the way back to Olde English
and beyond.....While the spelling of the word has changed
some, I suspect its pronunciation has not, and its meaning
has changed little, if any......It still means "Warm
animal dropping"......Pumps
