My daughter sent me this email, thought I would share as it really is funny...
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 64).
We decided to grab a bite at the food court.
I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.
The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors - green, red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at him.
The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time.
When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked: "What's the matter there old pops, never done anything wild in your life?"
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; I knew he would have a good one!
In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid .... "Got stoned once and f**ked a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."
Excellent!
Best I can offer after that is the true story I just posted on the "Gun Safety HELP!" (or something like that) thread, moments ago....
Good morning Zsuzsy, you've just set my mood for the day thank you. Have a great week!

If I had been that teenager I would have fell out laughing. What an awesome comment!
OH Zsuzsy you funny lady you!
Thanks for a good laugh. I needed it this morning!

Mine would have blown a gasket instead, he had no tolerance for extreme-ism and I loved him anyway. Now my Gramps on the other hand...
OMG! I love it! thanks for the morning laugh ZB! I needed that!
I honestly almost fell off my chair!!!!
Now I have to forward this to my rocker son. He will laugh his head off.
