Bananas on the Dashboard

My dad and I aren’t taking our usual northward jaunt because I need to be within spitting distance of the hospital for Arlo’s sake, but here are a few gems of recent times.

Dad: Have you ever tried to open pistachios and read a book at the same time?
Me: No.
Dad: CAN’T BE DONE.

 

**********

Dad: I’ve got a couple of bananas on my dashboard.

(He did.)

**********

Dad: I’m still hungry. You got any munchies?
Me: (digging things out of the cupboard) Pistachios. Beef Jerky. …Sesame seeds.
Dad: (correcting me) Those are for the cardinals.

**********

Dad: (waggling his iPhone) I suppose this thing has a voice recorder on it too.
Me: Yup.
Dad: I don’t know how to use this thing. How’m I gonna learn how to use this thing?
Me: I keep teaching you, but you keep forgetting.
Dad: <blink blink blink blink blink>

**********

Dad: Apps.
Me: Yeah?
Dad: Do I have to buy them?
Me: You can. A lot of them are free.
Dad: Why would I buy any then?
Me: Well, I bought one called PicStitch–
Dad: Pig shit?!

**********

Dad, singing a lullaby to the baby:

Oh, dear, what can the matter be,
Seven old ladies got stuck in the lavatory;
They were there from Sunday till Saturday,
Nobody knew they were there.

**********

Dad, waxing philosophical: Life is really—hey, are those pretzels?

**********

Dad: You need breakfast? I could run out and get us something.
Me: I already ate.
Dad: I didn’t really have anything. Just… some ice cream. Toast. Pretzels. I love pretzels for breakfast!
Me: You need to eat some protein and vegetables.
Dad: I take vitamin pills.

The best part about this is not that my dad texted the fancy vacation person back. It’s not even that he did it accidentally “with my ass”. It’s that he managed to put both “lol” and “poop” in an accidental ass-text to a spammer.

And then there was the time he was more deliberate:

  1. Das Zentrum von Funchal ist nur einen kurzen Spaziergang entfernt.

  2. Additionally, Australian players do not need to pay tax on online casino winnings unless they are professional gamblers.
    Skrill and Neteller are particularly popular among online
    casino players for their instant transactions. Choosing secure payment methods at online casinos is important for safety and
    efficiency. Visa and Mastercard are popular payment methods for
    their convenience and security in online casinos. Popular methods
    at Australian online casinos include credit/debit
    cards, e-wallets like PayPal and Skrill, cryptocurrencies, and bank transfers.
    These bonuses are appealing as players can retain their winnings from
    a no deposit bonus, though a deposit might
    be required before cashing out.
    Follow the instructions to deposit. Once your account is verified, use your credentials to log in (unless you’ve been automatically redirected back to the casino after verifying your email).
    Once you open the casino’s official website, tap the register button and
    enter the required information. Check our list and the awards assigned to each casino to pick the best one based on your needs.

    You won, mission accomplished, now it’s time to withdraw.
    Whether you’re playing a positive progression (the Paroli System) or a negative progression strategy (Martingale), you should always proceed with the utmost caution.
    From welcome bonuses to free spins and ongoing promos, we ranked the best
    new Australian online casinos that offer clear, generous, and player-friendly incentives.

    With over 8,000 games to choose from (from 60 different game providers), it’s easily one
    of the biggest collections of games we’ve seen from a real money
    online casino. The best Australian online casino real money
    site welcomes new players with a versatile bonus that is perfect for all bankrolls.
    Managing your money safely and smoothly is key when playing at Aussie online casinos for real money.

  3. One of the good things about Polish online casinos is that they
    offer a rich variety of payment methods to choose from.

    This means that you can play every casino game that you can think of, which includes all types of slots,
    table games, and live dealer games, along with the popular in Poland instant games.
    There are many Polish online casinos to choose from, and we picked the best online casino sites for you.
    These casinos are all based in the EEA and as such they are legally allowed to offer their gambling
    products to Polish players. Under current law, all
    online casino games such as slots, roulette, or poker remain under the exclusive monopoly of Totalizator Sportowy, the state operator.

    Much like other online casinos around the world, the game type with highest RTP rate at Polish online casinos is blackjack
    with 98.90% RTP at our recommended casino.
    I love a casino that makes it easy to find what you’re looking for.

    I also tried 777 Deluxe and gave A Night With Cleo a spin just to see what the fuss was about – it’s definitely one of the more exciting titles I’ve played.
    She said it wasn’t flashy, but it always paid on time, and she once
    managed to double her deposit in under an hour. Once you get used to all the song and dance, though, you’ll find there’s actually a pretty fantastic casino hiding in here.
    Some lean so far into the theme that you don’t know if you’re
    trying to gamble online or trying to roll a natural 20 to cast an invisibility spell in a dragon’s lair.
