My soon to be son in law comes over with my stepdaughter last night. He's done a lot of growing up in the last few years and has really impressed me, going from a smart *** to a somewhat mature homeowner with goals of a nice life for him and my stepdaughter.

He's checking out the new XLT and he just can't stand it anymore. I sense him wanting to sneak in a snide remark and he says something to the effect of that it should have been a Chevy. I let it go, casually passing it off and making small talk by telling him about the reviews and technical articles I've been reading up on to make my decision with Ford.

I guess he didn't get enough "rise" out of me and really dug hard telling me I went and "wasted a whole bunch of money on a Ford". I asked this 25 year old genius with apparently exponential driving experience than myself what the determining factor is when he bought his new truck. He commented that he in fact, had never bought a new truck. "Then what you offer is an unqualified opinion", I said.

I got the deer in the headlights look.

"Furthermore, Don't you find it quite amazing that for someone so stupid as myself, who can waste good money on such a POS truck, I'm at least smart enough to figure out a way to pay for half of your wedding in two months?"

That ended that.

 

"Uppercut"! "Jab, jab"!

 

Those are just priceless quotes!!! Sort of like the saying..."don't come to a battle of wits unarmed"

 

He turned around and bolted like a cat shot in the butt with a BB gun.

I just thought you all would get a chuckle out of my little conversation with him.

 

You've done that once or twice......great laugh!

 

I really like........

"It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.....

 

BOOM headshot

 

Word to the wise.....

Never insult the man who's footing the bill for the DJ and meal for all your drunken relatives.
