We never talked about it but I'd imagine he used extra McDonalds napkins from the glovebox like a normal man.

My dad came home one day when I was a teenager and asked where my brother was. I told him that he had gone to get a job digging graves. Dad said "Over my dead body!"

My dad had been having problems with rodents and was always walking around with his .22 to get rid of the problem. A older man used to park his car near the front yard and read his bible in his car while under the trees.
Well my mom and dad’s neighbor knew about the rodent and the older man. She called my dad one afternoon and said “he’s back”. My dad responded “I’m gonna kill that sob”. My neighbor said “isn’t that a little harsh he’s just reading his bible?”
My dad said “oh crap I thought you were talking about the rodent”.

I had a girl over to study for a test senior year of high school. My parents had gone out to dinner prior to her coming over, so not realizing I had picked her up in my car, he comes into the kitchen and says "Done studying already? You f#cked her didn't you."
She was right next to me when he walked into the living room. Only time I can remember him being truly embarrassed about anything.

My Dad was an avid golfer.Had a temper.Broke clubs.
After he passed,I went in the basement room where all his old clubs were.
There were 24 Ping putters exactly alike.All had a bend in the shaft.

I wasn’t born yet, but the funniest story of ever heard my dad tell me was around his honeymoon with my mom.
It was January 1975 and they just got married in Memphis. While driving on a back road they had a huge deer which totaled their car. Obviously at that time there were no cell phones, so they waited patiently on the side of the road for somebody to stop in hopes they would help. A big giant truck pulled up, walked over to the dead deer, threw the deer in his in the back of his truck and sped off. Didn’t say one word to my parents.

About 13 years old and woke up to mom and dad screaming followed by a gunshot...Needless to say about a 6' chicken snake somehow got in the house and crawled across mom and dad's bed. Ol' man wasn't too fond of snakes but the . 22 revolved did him in.

One particular hot, dry summer, my dad always kept the hose in the pool to keep the water level up. It was the summer I just graduated hight school. One day I decided to wash my car, when I was finished, instead of putting the hose back in the pool I just rolled it up on the rack.
Next morning my dad comes in my room mad as hell soaking wet screaming at me as to why I didn’t put the hose back in the pool. He turned the hose on not realizing it was still on the rack and it soaked him. All I did was laugh my arse off and after he realize he was the dumb arse for not looking he just laughed as well…
He never did that again, nor did I..
Unfortunately my dad is in hospice at home now and is the shell of the man he use to be. It kills me to see him laying it that bed like that…

One time we were driving on the interstate when I was a kid like 10 or so and there was one of those big 2 story ladders on the side of the interstate except it was on the outside shoulder of the other direction
It was one of those 2 lanes interstates with a median so he stopped and told me to get out and go to the ladder so I crossed the interstate and stood on the ladder while he pulled a u turn to go to it
Some other guy was stopping to get our ladder and my dad yelled at him that he saw it first
We still have that ladder

It is 1964 and we have season tickets for LSU football games. At that time, the big game every year was Ole Miss. In 1964, the Ole Miss game was in Tiger Stadium. My Dad was upset during this game because LSU was moving between the 20"s but could not score. He decided we would leave with 10 minutes to go in the game.
Background, in 1964, you either used the ferry to cross the river or used the Huey Long bridge. West bound traffic had to use 190 and traffic was horrible.
So we are parked in the open field across from the Old Alex Box stadium. We hear a roar from the stadium. I was 13 and I got the car keys so I could run to the car, turn on the radio and find out what happened. LSU had scored late. I got the radio on just in time to hear that Doug Moreau had caught the 2 point conversion and eventually win 11-10. After that the only time we ever left early was that Miami disaster in the rain.
Dad passed away in 1989 and I miss him to this day.
Here is a link to that game.

When I was was younger my dad and I used to fish a lot under Cobia bridge on lake Weiss. Back then it was an Iron trestle bridge and we didn't have a boat. Instead we'd park on the shoulder and unload the truck. He'd climb over the guard rail and hang over the edge and set up a ladder down to the small concrete base below. We'd climb down with all our gear and tie out lanterns to where the bottoms just touched the water and wait. The shad would come in, after that it was on. We'd fish until we caught our limits, whether it be crappie or white bass. This one night in particular he and I and one of my buddies went down and pulled up to get our gear out when we noticed the ladder wasn't on the truck. I had forgot to tie it down and it had blown out somewhere along the way. I know He was a little upset but he didn't really show it. Instead he drove to the store and bought bout 60 foot of rope. We picked up large limbs along the highway and he made a rope ladder for us to get down there. We had a great night fishing. the whites came rolling in and after my first three catches I was basically just unhooking and putting them in the basket for my dad and Buddy

First day of my senior trip on a cruise with my Dad there chaperoning. We are all drunk before the boat even moved. We were at the safety lesson where you report to your life boat and there’s a cute girl there and he proceeds to hit on her for me.
“He’s a really good baseball player. He’s got quick hands and a really good glove, he makes all the plays. You should come see him play next year!” The poor girl was horrified.
Later the same say, I was now hammered and laying in my bed after throwing up. With a bunch of friends in the room, my dad (still hammered and in his bed) sits up and calls the whole room to attention. In a drunken slur he says, “You know, you think you raise ‘em right and they turn out to be f****** lightweights!”
Love you, Dad. I hope you read this...

We stopped years ago on us 190 because there was a fiberglass type army helmet on the shoulder. I guess the National Guard uses the lighter version for drills or training.
Dad stopped, one of use retrieved it. He said “you never know when you are gonna need a army helmet.”
