(inspired by Die Atheistin's threat)
DA's thread about his mum's beliefs got me to thinking about a quirk my father had - he would constantly rail against the general stupidity of people, but steadfastly refused to take advantage of it. An example: Two of my brothers and I went with him to look over a stud bull he was considering. After researching the bloodline and the quality of calves produced, Da asked the owner how much he wanted and the man said, '£1000.' Da looked at the man as if he had two heads and said, 'Iz yer daft? The beast is worth £1500 all day. I'll give ye twelve.'
Anyone else have parental quirks they'd like to share?
