FRUSTRATED FATHER
Posted by: bigguyhereagain <bigguyhereagain@...>
A FRUSTRATED FATHER was telling
a friend how difficult it is to
punish a teenager.
"When I was a youngster," the man explained,
"my father sent me to my room without supper.
But my son has his own TV, stereo,
phone and microwave oven."
"So what do you do?" his friend asked.
"I send him to MY room."

*~*Differences *~*
A boy asks his father to explain the differences among irritation, aggravation, and frustration.
His father picks up the phone and dials a number at random. When the phone is answered, he asks, "Can I speak to Alf, please?"
"No! There's no one called Alf here," says the person who answered the phone.
His father hangs up. "That's irritation," he says.
He picks up the phone again, dials the same number, and asks for Alf a second time. "No-there's no one here called Alf. Go away. If you call again I shall telephone the police," the person says.
His father hangs up and says, "That's aggravation."
"Then what's frustration?" asks his son. The father picks up the phone and dials the same number a third time.
"Hello, this is Alf. Have I received any phone calls?" he asks casually.

*~*Mom's Fault *~*
When my brother-in-law was on leave from national service, he
brought home a heavily tattooed friend. We all sat down to Sunday
lunch, and my four-year-old nephew couldn't take his eyes off the
man's colorful arms.
Curiosity finally got the better off him. Politely, he asked the
visitor, "Didn't your mother give you paper to write on?"
