Your dad's life was poop. But he thinks life is fair. So he made you. Now you suffer and can't change anything.(self)
By definition our dads all must have gotten Laid. Well unless it was test tube.
When I was young I had the exact same problems as 20-30 year old's have today. $2.50 did not buy much back in the 70s, I remember spending a full weeks pay for a 5000 BTU Room Air Conditioner costing $94.88 and now one can be had for $150.
