On the Lighter Side...

Yeah, talked to my dad about graduation and ICTC this afternoon, and here are some precious quotes about what he had to say:

Dad: Graduation? You're graduating? Man, I gotta get a bottle!
Me: Of what?
Dad: Whiskey!
Me: For me or for you?
Dad: For me, of course. Whew, 22 years...

[...]

Dad: Man, I could get you a $60,000/year job at some genetics firm... and you gotta do this?
Me: What do you care?
Dad: Oh, more than you can know. ... I'm getting old, honey.
Me: Yeah?
Dad: Yeah, and social security isn't gonna cut it.

[...]

You're just 22... what are you gonna teach? Spelling?

Teaching, eh? I remember my third grade teacher.... man, did she have a big rack.
