Keeping it Clean

As a snarky stitcher, I've been known to stitch a dirty word from time to time, but I love alternatives to swears as well. That is probably why I find this commercial from Orbit gum so amusing - swear words are replaced by ridiculous tame alternatives.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who finds it funny:

Cootie Queen

Lint Licker

Robyn Enz stitched a few of the fun phrases. Great stuff!

    Those look great! (Though, truth be told, I know Robyn, so I can't say that I'm at all surprised!)
