What’s the big F---ing joke?

I *swear* this is a coincidence. I never planned to make two posts about British language issues on the same day. In fact, if you really want to press the issue, I never planned to make *any* posts about British language issues, *ever*. But this is just too funny (excerpts below).

Agence France Presse and Britain's Sunday Telegraph report that the residents of F---ing, Austria (pronounced Fooking) are quite perturbed with British tourists who think the name of the town is so hilarious they want to take a piece of it home with them. So they swipe the signs.

This is what police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger told the Sunday Telegraph: "We will not stand for the F---ing signs being removed. It may be very amusing for you British, but F---ing is simply F---ing to us. What is this big F---ing joke?"
