Dumb Things Dads Say

"When's the last time you ever saw a pirate?"

Dumb Duh Moments ... dad's are loaded with 'em.

Really Dumb Things People Say, Part 762

-- What the Wal-mart clerk said to me when I asked him where the newly-remodeled store had relocated its book department.

Dumb Things People Say

"Oh yeah, she married that Bush guy."
-- some teenager named Sammy, spoken in my house, when he was shown a picture of First Lady Laura Welch (Bush) in the 1962 Midland Lee High School yearbook.

"A tolerant man has no standards."
-- anonymous (thank God, for his own sake) on a local talk radio station.
