Researchers at Kiel University have discovered that swearing when you hurt yourself is a sensible policy.
It seems that 64 volunteers were asked to hold their hands in freezing water for as long as possible while repeating a swear word of their choice. They then repeated the experiment using a commonplace word to describe a table. Thus, it seems, those uttering expletives were able to keep their hands longer in the water when swearing.
From this, it is deduced that swearing helps when you hurt yourself.
By jingo, Gordon Ramsay must be in a lot of pain then!
