"Weird Relatives"
Here are some unusual statements about my father, which may or may not be true:
1. He had a mole on his nose that made him self conscious, so he had it tattooed
to look like a fly.
2. He wore special elevator shoes that made him appear three inches shorter.
3. He talked to himself, but nobody knew it becaue he was a ventriloquist.
4. He had his elbows pierced so he could wear cufflinks with a short sleeved shirt.
5. He told me: "Bananas are a waste of time. Once you peel 'em and throw the bone away,
there's nothing left to eat."
6. He could jump three feet straight up, without bending his knees.
7. I still have his watch. On his deathbed, he sold it to me.
