My first attempt at fanfiction. Based on Sunbow G.I. Joe cartoon set in modern times.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Without any further ado, on with the show!

"Alright people settle down, settle down!", General Hawk yelled over the G.I. Joe teams auditorium. It was just after breakfast, and it was time for the monthly meeting.

The Joes obeyed and silence fell as General Hawk addressed the meeting points. Finally he got to the last point.

"Ladies, Gentlemen, there is a problem that i would like to address about our behavior." This raised eyebrows throughout the auditorium. "Now Joes, we are a fighting unit and we are very good at it, but we need to cut down on our swearing."

Hawk could practically hear crickets chirping before Bazooka raised his hand and asked why.

" I'm sure you all know that the eyes of the public are upon us," Hawk said. "People are scrutinizing us. Civilians expect high standards of us. Even children look up to us. So we should set a better example both on and off the base by not using curse words"

"Yew mean Ah gotta talk like Ahm surrounded by a buncha chillun?" Beach Head drawled. "Actually, Ah am surrounded by a buncha chillun in adult bodies.

"I understand that it's hard Beach Head, but just because we're in the military doesn't mean we have to act like uneducated pottymouths", Answered Hawk "So I'm implementing a swear jar system. Mainframe, front and center."

"Yes sir.", said the computer specialist as he stepped forward. "Ok, here's the deal; I've programmed the computers to record our usage of bad words. Any time you swear, the computer will send a text informing you that a one dollar fine has been deducted from your monthly pay. At the end of the month the totals will be accounted for."

"Thank You Mainframe", said Hawk. "And just to make it more interesting, the Joe who uses the least amount of swears will win all of the fines at the end of the month." A chorus of excited murmurs began upon hearing this. "Any questions?"

A Greenshirt raised his hand. "Sir what if

you swear in your own private quarters?"

Hawk nodded "Good question. It's fine if you are in private quarters or in combat. Those are the only exceptions to the rule. Anyone else?"

A black clad hand went up and was followed by a series of ASL.

"Yes Snake Eyes, ASL swears are off limits too. Sorry, but We do have to be fair."

The ninja gave a thumbs up sign and sat back down.

"By the way, that also goes for any other spoken languages." said Hawk

"What about Polly's swearing?" asked Shipwreck.

"The only reason that sqauwkbox of yours swears is 'cause of you Shipwreck." growled Wetsuit.

" Yeah, for once I agree with Froggy here.", said Leatherneck.

"Aww shaddup," said Shipwreck, " You two are tied for second place after Beach Head in regards to cussin' , And HE practically invents new swears every week.

"ENOUGH!!!", bellowed Hawk. "To answer your question Shipwreck, No you don't have to pay for Polly's swearing. Okay, anything else?" No one raised their hand.

"Okay, Good. Now I don't wan't you all to look at this like you're being punished. Instead look at it like we are trying to become better citizens of this Nation we've sworn to defend. So starting Monday, no more swearing. Alright Joes, meeting adjourned. ATTENT-HUT! DISS-MISSED!" Everyone stood and left for the door.

" Well that went well." said Duke.

Flint, who had been silent up until now said,

"They won't last a week without swearing, especially Beach."

"Good point." Hawk agreed. He then looked at his First Shirt and Warrant Officer. "Any bets on who the winner will be?"

"Hundred bucks says its Lifeline." said Duke with a smirk.

"I say its Skidmark. He's too polite not to win" said Flint.

Hawk chuckled and said "I'll call Ace and have him set up the Bets."
