Cussing okay now?

Chapel Hill Transit buses used to have a sign telling riders no smoking, eating, drinking, or...profanity.
    Well, the sign on the bus I rode this morning didn't mention profanity. The driver was uncertain whether cussing is now allowed on city buses.
    Anyway, I thought the sign should have been worded, "No Smoking, Eating, Drinking, or Using Profanity." Or maybe, "No...Speaking Profanely." Or, "No...Cussing"?
    Maybe the bus-sign editor couldn't decide either and just chose to avoid the issue.

  1. I'm surprised that the list isn't getting longer. Ask the driver about spitting, panhandling, and fondling.

  2. How about "do nothing that would annoy anyone else" oh wait, that would mean nobody would be able to ride the bus...
