Dear Dad

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely
made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently
on the centre of the bed. It was addressed,"Dad". With the worst premonition, he
opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my
new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mom and you.
I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice -- even with all her
piercings, tattoos, and her tight Motorcycle clothes.

But it's not only the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be
very happy. Even though you don't care for her as she is so much >older than I,
she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole
winter.

She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too.
Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it
for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a >cure for AIDS so Joan can
get better; she sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your son,


John



PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card
that's in my desk centre drawer. I love you! Please call when it is safe for
me to come home.
