New Old one from my Dad.

[ApolloSZ]

Yes. The Donald Duck imposter dad of win is back

RedBeard's post reminded me of this. It is a old one but I haven't posted it before.

Dad as y'all know is a Tour Coach driver (not bus, never say bus XD). The SC in this case was the Tour Director. Sits up the front, uses the microphone, tells you about the lovely scenery and wonderful lack of vicious dropbears here in NZ XD.

TD had been repeatedly refusing to put on her seatbelt. (Ed. - At this point in history I believe the driver is held responsible if passengers aren't wearing a seatbelt. These days its the passenger). What makes this important is the TD's seat (aka Courier Seat/Dickie Seat) is the folding on beside the DOOR at the front of the coach. Y'know. Stairs. Windscreen. Unlevel floor. Giant portal to the outside world of sweet gravelly pain. (Ed. - Possibly exaggerated description, the door would ofcourse be shut)

TD claims it gets in the way, TD doesn't like it etc. Finally, Dad did the same as RedBeards driver. Put the breaks back on. Turns off the coach. Looks at TD and says "This bus doesn't move till you put that seat belt on."

Now. I can be stubborn to a fault. Guess where I get this from... Dad . He only had to make the motions once more, and TD always put it on.


Side story time. (And there was much rejoicing ... yaaaaayyyyy )

I've had my own run in with this TD. I meet my dad when he gets to my town. Have dinner etc, sometimes ride to the hotel with him in the Coach. Went to do this as usual and couldn't see him at the usual place. So went up to what I thought was his coach (and it was his) and asked her

Me - "Is this *NameofTourCompany* driven by *Dad*'s Coach?
TD - (immediate snotty attitude) - "This isn't your coach. You can't get on."
Me - "No, I just asked if.."
TD - "This isn't your coach."
Me - (Now rather terse.) "I. said. Is this *NameofTourCompany* driven by *Dad*'s Coach?"
TD - (Still snotty) - "Oh. Yes."

So, I'm a general member of the public as far as she knows. And she's like that. In a company uniform. On a bus with the Coach company AND her company's logos on it. Good representation...... .

As a general member of the populace call in and complain about TD's behavior/attitude.

Your dad rocks.
That is all

At least we don't have living lawnmowers aka sheep everywhere.

Mary had a little sheep,
And with this sheep
She went to sleep.
The sheep turned out
To be a ram
And Mary had a little lamb!

Sheep are why the Marlboro Man sneaks around Wyoming in his travels... all the curly-headed blondes going "Daaaa-ddy!"

Here's one for the AC/DC fans...

(no that's not Bon Scott, but it's close enough to have fooled his ex-bandmates when they heard it for the first time. Guy's actual name is Spike O'Neill, runs an AC/DC tribute band called Spike & The Impalers, and every so often they sing it like this...)

Couple verses I've heard:

Now I'll tell you a tale
With which you're not acquainted.
Mary had a little lamb
And then the doctor fainted.

While walking past the butcher shop
The prices didn't please her.
Tonight she's having leg of lamb
The rest is in the freezer.
