joke
THIS IS A JOKE EMAIL THAT ONE OF THE WOMEN IN THE MAIN ENGLISH OFFICE SENT TO ME. I think she was trying to cheer me up (during my convalescence). I also think that it’s one of those “things” where people try to connect with me about my mohawk, to prove to me that they’re “cool” with it. It’s silly, but it made me smile:
DAD AT THE MALL
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 92). 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 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 that I would not choke on his response, knowing he would have a good one, and in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response. ‘Got drunk once, and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.’ Wishing you a Happy New Year and an abundance of laughter this year.
It’s cute. Happy new year, indeed. Abundance of laughter, indeed.
