My Old Man…

Forwarders... We all know at least one forwarder... or maybe you yourself are a forwarder. Forwarders are folks who like to forward emails with little jokes or what-have-yous attached to them. That's all fine and dandy unless... the shit they send ain't funny. This is almost always the case with frequent forwarders.

My Father is a forwarder.

Being the geek that I am, I can't sit idly by and let people I like break simple netiquettes... so if you forward me one too many non-funny emails, I will ask you to stop. Which, a while back, is exactly what I did to my Father. I explained that yes, I understand and appreciate that this is just a way of keeping in touch and saying hi. I then explained that these kind of emails, to me, are like getting spam and that I'd much prefer to get an email that just says "hi" or the like.

Well, since then, I've gotten very few forwards and more basically "hi" emails and phone calls (thanks Pops) . Perfect. Then today, he got brave... he sent me a movie that he thought for sure even I would like. Well, as it turns out, he was correct. I found it very funny... so congratulations Pops, you've made the blog! Your mother will be so proud. Which reminds me, I still have to cash those last two $10 Christmas checks from Granny... maybe I'll wait till next X-mas... you know... get the hat-trick!
