"You're an idiot!"
Dad loved animals of all kinds. When he laid eyes on Marley, he looked her over and then said, "My god, that's the cutest god damn dog I've ever seen." :)
"The Black Dog" and "The Little Brown Dog"
My recollection was that the ladder was brand new...that part may or may not be true. The rest Pat can verify. We were working on the sunroom on Walsh. Dad was trying to put either insulation board or drywall up on the ceiling. He was standing on a 6' aluminum ladder. Hammer and nails in hand. Nail one, swing and a miss. The nail went 'ping' and flew across the room. Cursing. Nail two, same thing, more cursing. Nail three, again the nail goes flying across the room. This time, though Tom McBride had enough. He started yelling every curse word he could think of while beating the ladder with the hammer. Over and over. We left the room...and laughed our asses off. It is to this day one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
PS The ladder was mangled.
Oh yea! The ladder was brand new, too! This story reflects some of his finer moments. Ha ha ha ha ha!!! I was on the other side of the house and heard it all!
Definitely a new ladder. I believe he was trying to nail a piece of drywall to the ceiling and the nails kept flying until finally, the piece of drywall came down on his head. That was clearly the ladder's fault.
When you're driving my car, watch out for rednecks in pickup trucks.
speed up so you can make this light this light now slow down in case there's a cop
Forgot about that one.....
Me: I feel bad about accepting a job offer and then reneging. Dad: Who the hell raised you? Let me tell you what's going to happen. You'll start working for them and a week later they'll lose some contract and you'll be out on your ass! F them because they'll F you!
I don't care if you go to college or join the military. Either way when you turn 18 you gotta get the hell out of my house.
After telling Dad that someone was a 'good guy' he replied: "There aren't any good guys and there's only one good woman and I already married her."
That is so darn sweet!!!!
