Dad has always been a comedian. He reminds me of Jay Leno, actually. He always has a twinkle in his eye when he's joking. He can't ever lie. I think this is one of the traits I inherited from him.
One particular occasion my family came back home from somewhere. We always closed the garage door when we left, but found that it was still open. We all got concerned, thinking perhaps a robber was in there. Dad pulled into the garage and told us all to wait there while he investigated the premises.
We patiently waited while Mom worried. We were relieved to see Dad open the door to come tell us everything was fine when all the sudden he threw up his hands, went stiff, and fell to the floor. Mom screamed. We thought he had been shot. When he stood up laughing with that funny twinkle in his eye Mom was ticked. We all thought it was funny, though.
