Warning Label

Future Friend – Your first interaction with me probably involved me saying something objectionable but funny. Heck I may have had some fun at your expense. 
You probably thought, “boy this guy is a bit full of himself” or “did this bloke really just say that.” In most cases your reaction is completely warranted and I don’t blame you for being cautious. But note (I have references) that if we are now friends you probably discovered that I am a good pal who is genuinely interested in what you have to say, I’ll be there when you need me and my jokes get way better the more we drink. 
So…thank you for being a friend and lighten up will ya?

You are tough, but sensitive. You are nerdy but cool. You are a hero but the heel who lays down the law. You’re a DAD and you do the best you can and hope one day over some BBQ you’ll overhear them saying. “Man you should have known my pop back in the day….”
