I try to explain this to my kids. People don't mind if their plumber
shows up in a dirty tee shirt and with a dirty mouth because he's a
plumber. Now imagine if you walked into your Dr's office and your Dr
had on a dirty tee shirt and had a dirty mouth. People look at how
people present themselves and decide how educated and competent they
are for the job. This is why airline pilots wear silly hats and boards
on their shoulders. When you act like a plumber with your students
they will question whether or not they really want a plumber showing
them how to fly.

Speaking of language and hobbies --- I played golf with a minister not
so long ago, and asked him after he made a bad stroke how he restrains
himself from expressing himself the way some of us do. He said there
is plenty of scripture he can quite that fits golf (and I'm thinking
flight instruction) quite nicely.

I would point out that calling someone an 'anal sphincter' is a
classy way of expressing your opinion.
