So I picked up a book on the charity table in my local supermarket and found this...

[sockrage]

[MrsGradyOldLady]

Wow what have they done? Scribbled it out or removed whole pages?

[FruStefanOla]

What's the book and how has the bad language been removed?

[jaffacakesareevil]

How funny! How did they remove it?

[MrsGradyOldLady]

Oh yes please tell us the name of the book too

[TheHobbitMum]

Lol fantastic,

[sockrage]

Every page containing swear words they have done this.

Crossed out whole word or the s from shit and so on

[sockrage]

It is called The Three Day Rule
It's blurb is
'Well you know the saying, families are like fish. They go off after three days'.

[sockrage]

So not an over offensive gang book or something

[ollieplimsoles]

what a drag!

[MrsGradyOldLady]

That's someone with way too much time on their hands!

[MrsGradyOldLady]

They missed "bloody" out as well

[TheJiminyConjecture]

I love this!

The idea that someone was happy enough to read it twice (presuming of course, that they didn't decide to start deleting the swear words immediately) but not happy for anyone else to, is brilliant!

[acasualobserver]

I liked the invitation to "Enjoy ...". Couldn't work out whether it was PA 'Enjoy your filth, you dirty-minded bastard' or a genuine 'Please enjoy this novel now I have removed its rudeness'.

[Lovewineandchocs]

I've read that one! Not good to censor it though, but I applaud the effort 😀

[BitOutOfPractice]

That shows real comittment!

[Blerg]

Wow! That looks like my MIL handwriting. She is quite anti-swearing but I can't see her doing this.

[BoffinMum]

Good thing they aren't letting her loose on redacting MN. It would be one great black screen.

[cdtaylornats]

Just edit in your head and add your preferred swear words back in.

[MoonfaceAndSilky]

Oh how funny

[corlan]

I think you need to reinstate all the swear words. If it's not clear what words were there, you could just make up some of your own.

[eitak22]

Haha someone clearly had too much time on their hands. Reminds me of the notes in textbooks which would send you all over the book to tell you off for wasting time.

[IceMaiden73]

How random !

[AdoraBell]

The only reason I can't say it was my MIL is that is not her writing.

[molyholy]

Hahahaha. Cheered me up on a Monday morning!! That must have taken ALOT of time and effort.

[queenMab99]

It happens a lot to library books.
