Yep....that'd be my Dad too. He'd lock in on a lot of things and never let go to the point you wanted to kill him. (Yeah, I know....) Also a big practical joke type, but they'd often be long term jokes. I mentioned it before, but he was a railroad engineman (proper term for engineer) and he and his fireman passed out pocket calendars one year to all the crews they ran into for about a week, both in Pittsburgh and Columbus. A pocket calendar was essential for doing your timetables and pay sheets......Of course these calendars were several years old and an awful lot of guys screwed their pay up and wanted to kill Dad and John. Of course they lied and said they had not been paid either..................
