Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

More from the article:
David Sabrio, a professor of English at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, noted that the Oxford English Dictionary says "hello" stems from an old German greeting for hailing a boat.
"Linguistically and historically, the word 'hello' has no connection at all with what we associate with the underworld," he said. "People may make that connection in their own mind. I certainly don't."
I bet "hello" was an old German greeting for hailing a boat... from hell!

When y'all were kids, was 'hell' a bad word? It was in our Christian grade-school.

It's Texas. Shouldn't they all be saying "Howdy" anyway?

Yeah, but it came off the "bad word" list earlier than the other ones. And hence the cocksuckin' slippery slope I've been on ever since.

Or "Hey". Maybe we should just institute a national "Yo" greeting and be done with it.
