There was a study done, several years ago
where thousands of cars around the world had microphones linked to black box recorders secretly installed. After fatal crashes, the black boxes were recovered, to find out what were the final words of the driver.

In every English speaking country, and indeed some others, by car the most common was "Shit!".

Except in Australia, where it was, "Hey Sheila, hold my beer and watch this!"

Another study
looked into why the end of a penis was shaped the way it was. The French study concluded that it was to give more pleasure to the woman. The British study concluded that it was so the man experienced more pleasure during lovemaking.

The Australian study concluded that it was to stop the blokes hand flying off the end and smacking him in the head.

When I did a 180 turn in the snow earlier this year
as the car gracefully slid closer and closer to a bollard I apparently shouted out both 'Shit!' and 'Fuck!'
So my 12 year old son says.
I suspect he may be right.
