My dad is a forman at an industrial steel fabrication facility. It's only comfortable there in the wintertime and I also have no idea how he's done his job for nearly 30 years now.

This is "my dad can beat up your dad" for young adults. I believe half of the serious responses. Too many "CEO's of large corporations". And sports champions, and politician? I doubt it.

My dad is a Presbyterian minister. Takes guts to admit that on this board. Fire away!

:Q :thumbsup: so you're saying he's no John Kerry? :p


Far from it ;)
