Thanks for the suggestion, but as dad rests on a shelf, in a box, in my
living room, I doubt very seriously that he'd be of much help.

I'm sure he's proud.

No, he's dead! Think about it--this is where the ability to reason might
come in handy--he's on a shelf, in abox, in my living room. Either he's
very tiny in stature and isn't likely to weigh very much-- relatively
speaking for a human (remember, he's on a shelf, in a box, in my living
room; he's an average sized human and I have a large shelf, on which I keep
a box, in which I keep my father, in my living room (Yes, I know, you and
Kenny K. and rw can picture that perfectly); or, could it be that HE'S DEAD!
and his ashes are contained in a box that rests on a shelf, in my living
room?

Now, having deduced this most perplexing conundrum: Do you honestly think
that he could *really* be proud?

Oh my god!!! I can't believe you are going to argue about this.

Are you really *THAT* stupid?!?!? Do you even realize how well you
are illustrating your lack of both reasoning and reading comprehension
ability?

Do you honestly think that I misread the "in a box on a shelf in your
living room"? Unlike you, I can actually read.

Or maybe you did mean you had a tiny father, he sure spawned a mental
midget.

And yet, you're sure that Mark's father is proud.

Go ahead......explain it.

this is SUCH fun!
