Daddy Spam
I was sent this picture in an e-mail. The subject line: Fwd: Heaven has Sent You an Angel.
The text:
“Heaven didn’t want her, so they sent her to me.
I don’t want her so, I’m sending her especially to you!
The rules are simple: You can send her away, but you can’t send her BACK!!”
The sender? Good ol’ dad.
I get at least two e-mails a day from my dad’s joke listserv, and almost every one has to do with sex. My boyfriend is also on this forward list—and, apparently, another, where dad sends the REAL doozies. In effect, my boyfriend gets jokes addressing how to be a better lover. I told him to respond to those forwards: “I don’t need any help in that department!”
You can see why I would think this would be funny.
My friend Tamre’s dad sends her forwards too, but with a decidedly different feel. The last one was called “WILL I GET THE GREEN DOG BACK?” More of the self-help variety.
My dad is so cool.
