Witty Fathers

With the holiday season upon us and me with all those lavish parties to go to and red carpet events to attend, I have neglected my duties here, as a loyal reader has kindly pointed out (you know who you are).

So, just to warm the pan before I start cooking again, here's a little joke for you as an appetizer.

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. 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 would look and find him staring every time.

When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so I wouldn't choke on his response, knowing he'd have a good one.

In classic style he didn't bat an eye in his response: "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock; just wondering if you were my son."
