While reading an article about fathers and sons having their first drink together, I remembered the time I took my daughter out for her first drink.
We went to a bar just two blocks from the house.
I got her a Sam Adams. She didn’t like it. so I drank it. Then I got her a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Same thing — so I drank that too. Then I tried a Blue Moon. Nope… drank that as well.
Thinking maybe she’d prefer something stronger, I ordered a Tito’s and soda. She wouldn’t touch it… so I drank it.
In desperation, I even got a top-shelf bourbon — the bar’s finest. She wouldn’t even smell it… so I drank that too.
By the time I realized she just didn’t like to drink, I was so drunk I could barely push her stroller home.

A Tampa businesswoman, who bought several of Princess Diana's gowns as a collector, is now putting them on display to raise money for charity.
However, her method of display is being described by many as... "inappropriate."
(the graphic flashes a sign that says "See Dead Lady's Dress: 50 cents.")
(the audience HATES this joke. Barely any laughs at all. Some groans. One guy just loudly shouts, "Boo!")
Norm: Still, for four bits, you know, that's a good deal.
My wife has a great movie recommendation but she doesn’t remember the title. She says it stars the same person who was in the other movie but she can't remember that title either.
It's absolutely incredible that they managed to bring this space beast back like a motorless glider.
We hurled a machine into the infinite, freezing void, then forced it to surf a 3,000-degree wave of plasma back to Earth.
In Jaws (1975), the mechanical shark kept malfunctioning because it was designed for freshwater but used in saltwater, causing it to constantly break down, which forced Steven Spielberg to show it less and accidentally made the film far scarier.
