t It has been too long

I am back. It really has been too long, but I have been busy, so there is an excuse, such that it is. There has not been too much that has been funny to me lately. There you go. I had some funny thoughts this weekend but the funniest things have been related to my father in law.

The in laws moved into a condominium about three weeks ago. There is still that settling period and my father in law, either really, is not the most aware guy on this planet. He is soon be 79 and I am not sure if he were ever with us fully, here, in reality and planet earth. Anyway, they are settling in fine, though my father in law is still having trouble dealing with the underground parking and how to find his spot, or the way out and up to the unit, for that matter.

You know the joke about the guy locking himself in the car? Well, my father in law, apparently, locked himself IN the bathroom. The locks are dead bolt type locks that do not connect to the door knobs. I am not sure if he locked the door and did not realize and then could not figure out how to twist the high tech. brass knob to unlock the deadbolt, (I kid about high tech. it is not quite a hook and loop, but it is pretty simple). Anyway, he is locked it and screaming for my mother in law (see has two modes, unconscious and panic, and he was in panic mode).

My mother in law calls the building Super but it being around five on a Friday, is gone for the weekend. They do get the Super from the building next door (in the same complex). In the meantime, she is apparently, trying to break the door down with her shoulder. This is a women, who when I hug her, I worry that I may crack her ribs if I hug too tightly. My wife is cracking up at the sight.

Now from the inside, my father in law is trying to saw through the dead bolt with a nail file. He has watched one to many prison movies, me thinks. He is merely shaving down the side of the door. Funny, how that did not work well. My wife is now in hysteric until realizing that she shares their DNA (their present may be her future, and mine).

The Super is super and gets him out with minimal damage to the door. How it happened I will never understand. I am now worried that he will lock himself inside is car.

That is all for today, though I have another story for latter. Ciao!
