Does your father dress all in black? If so then he may be Johnny Cash.  8)   Or the other guy.

Actually I was thinking about Capt. Kangaroo. He dressed kind of blackish didn't he? Or was that Mr. Greenjeans? What am I thinking? Greenjeans wore..... green.  #:-)

I still have a special edition of this : VHS


So I was in the local Goodwill the other day, checking for wargames, which occasionally turn up there. As I passed by the register at the front of the store I saw a gentleman of roughly my age buying a stack of unopened, blank VHS tapes. The young man behind the register, who looked to be in his early 20's said "What are these?"... "VHS tapes"... "Yes it says that on the box, but what are they for?". I kept walking, but a little slower, and sadder.

Sir Slash

You should've told the uneducated youth that VHS stands for, "Very Horny Sophomores " with a sly grin and a wink.  ^-^   It'd serve the little Perv right.
