Trust me, we were poking fun at dad before Jeff Foxworthy was on stage.

Tennesseean, no. Self made Appalachian cowboy, yes.

After several rounds of beers, dad started telling us about his college days. He was on the basketball team and lived with 4 other guys in a frat-ish house. He was recalling a girl that used to visit and party with them....

"She had a body like a playboy bunny, and a face like a garbage can. And she'd come down to party... and if we wanted to go again, she'd lay all ten of us."

"Hmm, stop sign."
"Holiday Inn!"

My grandpa would do that, sans any advice on awareness. He just did it.

Got to say, I really used to enjoy my Grandpa's amusing folksy old-person racism. I won't drop any here, but it always made me chuckle.

my mom gives up easy. we were driving into town (about 10 miles) one winter. forest on both sides of the highway. she hit some ice & we went into the ditch to our right. we were heading straight for a huge pine when she folded her arms and said, "Well, there's no point steering now." I yelled for her to grab the wheel and she jerked it left hard. we missed the tree, went right back up on the road, and denies that ever happened.

I have had a red Union suit for thirty years, I only wear it to hand out presents to the family on Christmas morning. Let's just say there was a lot less of me when I bought it and it may have to be retired into a family Hall of Shame soon.
Our other Christmas tradition is that somebody will get a very nicely wrapped gag gift. One year I gave my wife a "diamond necklace". It was a 1" diameter diamond drill bit for cutting cores in oil/gas wells. A couple of years ago we gave our son a battery powered leg humping monkey.

Jesus Christo. Aint worth much, perhaps one of those 'have to be there' things...but dad tends to get affixed on a word of the day for about a month straight. This months word has been 'bureaucracy'. Sh1t, not sure how much more I can take, but everything wrong no matter what, is a result of bureaucracy.
