No idea what is happening

[hed]

My wife and daughter bought me a birthday pipe last year. It's not briar, burns wet and hot, and burns the hell out of me. I still smoke it with a smile on my face. What's a little tongue bite between family?

My wife informed me her daughter bought me a pipe for Christmas. Was marked $25 and on sale for $16.00
My wife also said "and you'll smoke it when she's around with a smile on your face" after I said just throw it in the bin. $16.00 ????? even a piece of shit drugstore pipe cost more than that.
These are the same kids that are afraid to ask thier mother for loans, always calling me, Paddy can I borrow $200
Paddy can I borrow $500, paddy can I borrow $1,000
All I rate is a $16.00 piece of shit

Brothers, that's called taking one for the team! A few years back my daughter and (now) ex, both very good-looking women, got together and gave me a set of "Glamour Shots" photos of them. I appreciated the gesture, but they both looked horrendous in them, yet I've managed to keep my opinions to myself. Sorry, a bit off-topic, just saying...
