A coworker just bought a complete basketcase '69 Firebird from his father. We here all died laughing upon hearing the story of how pops acquired the car some thirty years ago, and the new owner still looks puzzled even after we explained it to him twice.

He has no idea why it's funny that his dad bought a Pontiac Firebird from a Native American gentleman hailing from Pheonix, Arizona.

C'mon.

I get the Firebird=Phoenix reference, but why on earth would I want my children to read this?

Dear TJ's children,

The real world is hard, education is by and large paramount in regards to quality of life. Be good to your siblings, someday you may only have each other. It's college, firmly stable/satisfactory/financially redeeming career, THEN marriage and kids. Treat all guns as if they were loaded, and never aim at anything you don't intend to destroy. Drugs and alcohol can be fun in moderation, but won't solve your problems, and will drag you down further than you can imagine. Brush your teeth; new ones aren't cheap. Butter is in fact better than margarine. Pay attention in high school, you'd be surprised how much of that stuff you'll need later. Credit cards eventually need to be paid back. Read the Bible on occasion... whether you believe in the Lord or not, there's reams of good lessons to be learned in there in how to treat others and carry yourself through life. Don't kid yourself into thinking you can just smoke "a" cigarette. Listen to your parents. Don't be like me. '69 Pontiac two bolt 350s are not and never will be capable of handling 1000+hp, no matter what a crackhead Skelator-lookalike from NH tells you.

Sincerely, Dana DeVries, little-known recovering everythingaholic and general f-up

There, TJ. Now your kids have something to read.

I'm right there with you on the butter thing... the rest - the jury is still out on. If my neighbor dies from an overdose... drugs would have solved one of my problems.

Addendum: the Catholic method isn't foolproof, and just because she says she's on the pill doesn't make it true.

Someone should've impressed this upon the younger versions of a few friends and I.

Hrmm... I'm not sure. Is there a semantic difference in American English between "Dont' forget the milk and bacon" and "Don't forget the milk or bacon"?

After my mother-in-law's parents died she was going through their house. She found in a box a small "OK calendar" - you can guess what was OK during certain times on the calendar. Only the first 2 months were filled in, she was born 9 months later...
