At what age did you start using profane language?

When I was about 8, I watched in amazement as my father picked up and threw my elder brother through the screen door for using the F bomb in front of my mother. And my daddy was one of those wonderfully gentle and loving men. I can remember the actual thought process of, "Hmm... remember not to say THAT in the house!" I said it for the first time when I was a senior in college.

The interesting part is, everyone was so stunned, it had a gazillion times the shock value - there was total silence!
