I was reinforcing my 14 yr old bible,when I came across the scripture Ephesians chapter 5 verse 3 in reference to fornication. One thing lead to another. Now I must say, learning something new everyday has always been a favorite pastime of mine. Question...how do I share this new found information, referencing the word F- ck, without offending the listener.

one of the the most gory , bloody and tragedic times in England history is time of HENRY VIII..because of plague,

homicide,battles ,wars half of england population died and english army had insufficent soldiers..and King was worried about

the future of Great Britian..at the end he has a research made and found out that there were lots of rascal

men in jails and dungeons and so much prostitutes as well..so he decided to allow them to make love for increasing the population OF

england ...

Mating was organized in jails between prostitutes and rascal men to provide population explotion..since it was done by

the permission of king it was known as " Fornication Under the Control of King" or abbreviated (F. U. C. K)..

in 15 years population increased twofold ..this i s brief story of the word F. U. C. K ..well also that point out the actual truth that half of English are illegitimate
