Fact of the Week: My Dad

Yeah, that's right, my dad. I've officially found out this week that he says more when he's half-asleep. Not drunk (if you knew my dad, you'd doubt his ability to get drunk), just half-asleep.

Here, I'll set up the scene: Thursday night (Friday morning), my dad went to bed at approximately 1:30am. This is generally normal for him, especially on Thursday nights, because he doesn't usually work on Fridays. Usually. Well, this last Friday, the guy who usually works early Friday mornings got in an accident (he's fine) and so called my dad at 4am. Do all the math and he got 2 and a half hours of sleep. Needless to say, he was tired by about 2:30pm when he picked me up at school.

His first words before he told me one of the oddest jokes I've heard out of his mouth? "Now, if I wasn't so tired, I probably wouldn't be telling you this." I won't tell you the joke for fear of offending anybody but I will tell you it was in its own way a sexual joke that I never thought I'd hear out of his mouth.
