But he spins his scooter around and blasts off the other direction.. Whatcha Think?

If your colors are a H.O.G. patch, that was it!

Pastor Tom don't let it get you down. I get the same treatment all the time. Im 6'2" 285# big wire mustache hanging down below my chin. And kinda ugly. I got a new boss a few years ago. When i first met him he was studdering and shaky and asking what he could do for me. I told him dude I work for you. The look on his face was priceless. I still laugh about it and so does he. And then whenever my kids bring a new friend around they always tell my kids your Dad is scary looking. My kids crack up at it. Hell Im just a big teddy bear to them.

Since the thread is back up I will tell a funny story. Last June I when down to Eugene Or. to help my son move to Lake Tahoe for the summer. My cell phone was on the fritz and he wasn't where he was supposed to be so I guess I might have been a little less that my normal kind and gentle self when I walked up to the frat house and inquired about him. Later, after we had finally connected up, I was sitting behind the door to his room where I was out of site of anyone standing in the doorway. One of the kids I had talked to came up and without seeing me commented to my son "Josh, your dad is a scary dude". What made it perfect was that my son without missing a beat said "Yes he is. Let me introduce you to him". Moral of the story, we just never know how our sweet and lovable selves can be misunderstood.

For those who are replying to Pastor Tom, please know that he hasn't been on this forum for quite a long time, and probably won't be, either. Nevertheless, he is having a Meet and Greet in Janesville, WI this very day.
