So, you're out there, hangin' on the corner with your friends, and along comes .....

[Stinky The Clown]

.... your father. He walks up and slaps you on the back of your head, grabs you by the arm, and tells you to get your ass home and clean up the mess you left. All your friends start laughing at you as he drags you off.

Man, if that happened to me, I'd be so fucking embarassed I'd be looking for new friends. I wouldn't be wanting to hang out for a while. A long while. Not when I got *that* humiliated.

I wonder how our erstwhile dauphine feels these days?

4. I'll bet he's had this happen to him many times over the course of .....

..... his miserable existance. In his case, it may not even affect him.

3. Keen analogy nm

5. Not just your pals

But your best girlfriend and the girl who would like more than anything to be your girlfriend. Your buddies laugh their asses off (after you're hauled off by your old man), and the girls start to seriously re-evaluate what they ever saw in you.

On a related topic, I don't remember George H.W. being on the ballot in 2004. What is he doing running the Oval Office?
