Chuck, that one reminds me of one of the first times I met my father-in-law. He's a sheep rancher. And he spent the entire evening inserting tampons into real live sheep vaginas. Heh.

He also had me hold lambs while he clipped off their tails:

Him: son, hold this
Me: uh-huh
Him: *sound of cauterization, horrible squeal, and smell of burning lamb*
Me: aw, fuck
Him: blowflies eating out their assholes is worse, son

"Did you know they found semen in Vince Foster's trousers and it wasn't his own?"

"Nice sunset, eh?"
"yep"

Blowflies eating out their assholes!!! This is the best thread ever I'm going to be sick from enthusiasm.

every year I end up driving an elderly relative to the hospital for her annual check-up. I don't She's v. posh, quite scary and going slowly nuts. Last year's trip went something like this (the first bit is usually the same, but this one got nasty:

Elderly relative (waking up from snooze in hot car) : What did you say?

Me: Traffic's bad today.
E.R : Who are you?
Me: I'm Dave, we're just going to the hospital?
E.R : Where's XXX (my elder sister)? Why isn't she taking me?
Me : She's at work, I expect.
E.R : Where's YYY (another sister)?
Me: I don't know.
E.R : Where's ZZZ (3rd sis)?
Me: Er.....on holiday.
E.R : Where's AAA (youngest sis)?
Me: Oh she's definitely at work today. Definitely at work.
E.R : None of you can be bothered with me, now I'm old.
Me : Oh they'd love to see you, I'm sure.

Me: Did you remember your appointment card?
E.R. Are you a homosexual?
Me: No, I'm not. I'm married to NNNN, remember?
E.R. Who?
Me: NNNN?
E.R : Oh her.
Awkward silence.
Me: Did you bring your appointment card?
E.R : Mind your own business, young man

Me : Are you too warm, would you like me to open your window a little?
E.R : The problem with him is....the problem with that doctor is...he's a darkie.
Me: Is that a problem?
E.R : Yes. I should very much think that it is.
Me : We're nearly there.

E.R : GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME, YOU BLACK BASTARD!
Me: Oh god, I'm sorry. She's...you know. Look, sorry.
(I drag E.R to nearest seat)
Me: Look, I think that was very offensive. Please don't do that again!
E.R : Get stuffed.

E.R : Where's XXXX (eldest sister)?

and we go around again. Roll on this year's visit.

Oh a bit of this got missed out. The 'Get your hands off me' bit happened in the hospital reception when a male nurse attempted to help E.R to a chair. Now it might make sense.

Dr. C (Dr. C), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago) link

Mum: Your Grandad says all we need now is for you and your sister to get married.

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:44 (twenty years ago) link

that's not legal yet.

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:46 (twenty years ago) link

B'dum tish.

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:47 (twenty years ago) link

Ah the joy of confused elderly racialists. Will the next generation be the one that does NOT become/remain mortifyingly bigoted in old age?

Archel (Archel), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:55 (twenty years ago) link

The problem with him is....the problem with that doctor is...he used to be in Toploader...

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 1 April 2004 13:56 (twenty years ago) link

I thought it was mandatory to become reactionary and conservative in old age. I was really looking forward to it.

:(

hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:05 (twenty years ago) link

I'm looking forward to hating EVERYTHING though, why limit it to particular ethnic groups? :)

Archel (Archel), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:09 (twenty years ago) link

to piss off your liberal grandkids

matthew james (matthew james), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:34 (twenty years ago) link

You are joking?

hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:38 (twenty years ago) link

On the Picadilly Line travelling part of the way through London with my uncle (all this is loud enough that the whole carriage could hear it)
Uncle: I wouldn't fucking have that!
Me: What?
Uncle: Look, a white guy's standing up while *he's* (points overtly to black guy) sitting!
Me: Erm...
Uncle: I'd be right over telling him 'that's a white man's seat yer in'

By this time I'm attempting to disappear into my seat.

He then turns to a black girl across the carriage.
Uncle: So d'you like that reggae music then doll?
Me: This is my stop!

Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 1 April 2004 14:39 (twenty years ago) link

Grandma: So you're moving to London?
Me: Yup!
Grandma: Just don't go falling in love with an ARAB!
Me: Umm...

my dad once turned off the tv as he does when he's really serious. (when it's not that serious he just mutes.) And with this incredible stern face looks to the floor and says, "you know, son, me and your mum have come to a decisions." looks right at me. "we're going to make some spacecakes."

matthew james (matthew james), Thursday, 1 April 2004 15:11 (twenty years ago) link

fiercely, into my ear: you dont have to come in her to make her pregnant
