If you are a follower chances are you have been privy to my secret WMD (Wonderful Mulit- forwarding Daddy).. My daddy is 79, he is awesome. Some technology may elude him but there is one thing this man has mastered. He can forward 278.5 emails to all 822 people in his contact list 10+ times a day. His priceless passing on of humor from his veteran buddies, former county co workers and anyone he has ever met at a gas station in any state. Because if you meet him and your not a total asshat you are GETTING ON HIS EMAIL LIST.
My Daddy sent this to me today. I share it with you because he is 79 and has been married 4 times to 3 wives ( do the math folks).
The point is. I am quite sure that this is applicable to nearly every single man I have ever met at any age. It’s just “cute” when it comes from my Daddy, instead of ” evidence” if it were to come from my husband.
