Girl Taunts Old Man

Girl taunts old man and asks if he ever did anything

wild heading downtown to go to the movies, when a young punk

got on. She had spiked, multi-colored hair that was green,

purple, and orange. Her clothes were a tattered mix of

leather rags, her legs were bare and she was wearing

worn-out shoes. Her entire face and body were riddled with

pierced jewellery and her earrings were big, bright

feathers. She sat down in the only vacant seat that was

directly across from us. My dad raised an eyebrow and stared

at the girl. Finally, the punk got self-conscious and barked

at my dad, “What are you looking at you old geezer…

didn’t you ever do anything wild when you were young?”

Without missing a beat, my dad replied, “Yeah, back when I

was young and in the Navy, I got really drunk one night in

Singapore and screwed a parrot… … I thought maybe you

were my daughter.”
