By the way, my tee shirt reads:
"Guns don't kill people,
Fathers with beautiful daughters do"

I assumed, with his background, your son can take care of himself

 

[spankdaplank]

Surprisingly, he is the most laidback guy you will ever meet. Unless..

 

[BadExample]

He has no need to prove anything. He looks a lot like dad!

I have a college baseball picture of my dad from the late 40s and people used to swear it was a pic of me. Now I keep getting told I look like the older version of him!

Here's a comforting thought, Steve Austin's $6,000,000 body in 1974 when the show debuted would now cost $30,717,532.46.

For $6,000,000 in today's dollars he could buy a two bedroom fixer-upper in East Vancouver......

Having beautiful daughters has turned many a gun hater into a gun lover. If the judge has beautiful daughters or is one, your case will be thrown out of court. It will be justifiable homicide. Because we all know some boy said or was about to do the wrong thing. Let him be a man beyond the age society deems appropriate and you will be a local hero. If the police have beautiful daughters they may not even take a statement.

(YMMV do not accept this as actual legal advice unless you've paid me first!)

A gun hobbyist once asked me if I had a gun. I started to answer "I don't have any use for.... Then I stopped myself, "actually I have way too many uses for one, that's why I don't keep one".
I do have a Louisville slugger, though, for those pesky boyfriends.

But you might get a bit of a disparity from a certain fox in the UK!

I know the feeling... I have 3

Me 2

Me 1

Me, none. One boy who surely caused a father or two angst.

All it took for me when I was young is when They looked me in the eye coming to pick her up. Scary! Always thought about having to go back. YOUTH

By the way, it was my daughter who bought the teeshirt for me. Probably because she's seen the look in my eyes when boys come calling.

 

[1bassplayinfool]

When the "boys" would come calling I would make sure I was sharpening my hunting knives or cleaning a gun...

 

[99Z3]

Well I have discovered that I actually like polishing guitars!

There's something about taking something you love and spending some time doing the redundant, slow and quiet work to keep it looking good. I think it's relaxing and keeps your mind occupied just enough that it can't wander too far away and cause trouble with itself
