The words, for which overhaul your copy of "Ferdinand Count Fathom" , and, when found, make a note of, were as follows:
"Oh Fuck."*
*it may be that your copy of Ferdinand Count Fathom (you do have a copy??) does not contain these words. For this you can probably thank generations of pusillanimous editors.
