Wow

2018-01-30 05:36:36 UTC  

The best part of this is it isn't the first time my dad told this joke by far.

2018-01-30 05:36:58 UTC  

What's the usual response?

2018-01-30 05:37:13 UTC  

He told me this is where I came from before my brother was ever born. So he was telling this story to a three or four year-old.

2018-01-30 05:37:25 UTC  

Lmao

2018-01-30 05:37:39 UTC  

The usual response the the eyerolling exhasperation you give with any dad joke.

2018-01-30 05:38:06 UTC  

Your dad is something else.

2018-01-30 05:38:27 UTC  

Is that where your humor comes from?

2018-01-30 05:38:39 UTC  

But this guy who is near death wanted his possible last words to be how one of his kids is a piece of crap.

2018-01-30 05:38:47 UTC  

It is certianly an influence.

2018-01-30 05:39:09 UTC  

What a way to go though. Iconic.

2018-01-30 05:39:26 UTC  

To be fair though, my brother kind of had it coming. Now I seqway into a story about the first time he almost died.

2018-01-30 05:39:57 UTC  

So a couple years before that he had a massive heart attack. I found out about this when I am on a date with my future wife.

2018-01-30 05:40:31 UTC  

So i'm pretty shook up. First time something like this happened, and I have an early shift. So i'm trying to rest for the night.

2018-01-30 05:40:55 UTC  

My brother however, is off the next few days. So he responds to this the same way he responds to everything. Goes out and gets drunk.

2018-01-30 05:41:11 UTC  

That's terrible

2018-01-30 05:41:19 UTC  

At around midnight I still hadn't fallen asleep. and I get a call from my brother.

2018-01-30 05:41:52 UTC  

I answer the phone and he says. "Hey grumplebee, I need to talk to you. Mom just called. Dad died.

2018-01-30 05:42:16 UTC  

His last words were "With my final breath I want everyone to know that I hated Grumplebee!"

2018-01-30 05:42:49 UTC  

needless to say I hung up on him.

2018-01-30 05:43:30 UTC  

Dad made a full recovery from both illnesses. Doctor said he woldn't know he'd had a heart attack if it wasn't on his chart, and he only lost 10% of lung capacity in one lung.

2018-01-30 05:44:19 UTC  

Did your dad put him up to it? Why did he do that?

2018-01-30 05:44:46 UTC  

No my dad wasn't up to doing anything at that point. he almost died and was in bad bad shape.

2018-01-30 05:45:05 UTC  

My brother just did it because he was proper drunk and thought it would be funny.

2018-01-30 05:45:19 UTC  

Did you ever tell him your brother did that?

2018-01-30 05:45:24 UTC  

Oh yeah.

2018-01-30 05:45:33 UTC  

He thought it was hilarious.

2018-01-30 05:45:54 UTC  

He probably did. Lol Is your dad doing well now?

2018-01-30 05:46:50 UTC  

Yeah, he's 60 now. Still working, and working on getting his doctorate of edutation. He's always wanted to be a doctor.

2018-01-30 05:47:29 UTC  

Way to go Grumplebee Sr!

2018-01-30 05:47:50 UTC  

And your brother is a better place?

2018-01-30 05:48:01 UTC  

My brother is a whole nother story.

2018-01-30 05:48:30 UTC  

He's had some problems, but let's not get full into that right now.

2018-01-30 05:48:50 UTC  

Your brother sounds like he'll along with your wives family. The messed up ones.

2018-01-30 05:50:04 UTC  

I don't want to get into the whole elaborate thing but he had a traumatically bad work experience. So did I actually. Neither of us coped with it super well. Indeed, we have most of the same problems. But to greater or lesser degrees depending on the particular issue we're talking about.

2018-01-30 05:50:35 UTC  

You ever hear that C.S. Lewis quote about Robber Barons and Moral Busybodies?

2018-01-30 05:50:49 UTC  

No I have not

2018-01-30 05:51:15 UTC  

I'll pull it up. It's a really good one, and one anyone in our area of the politcal spectrum should know.

2018-01-30 05:51:27 UTC  

Ok

One of the reasons why Trump was better than Clinton even *if* every last thing your ever heard about it was true. Including the hooker pissing thing.
