My first father-in-law informed me that he wasn’t losing a daughter, just the national debt ! He was right. She could spend it faster than I could print it.
My wife made me ask her dad for her hand in marriage. He said “What do I get?”I (being a smartass) said “Getting her out of your house.”He stood up all sour face all 6’5" of oil field worker.Looked down at me (I am 5’9")I stood there looking up grinning like an idiot with her crushing my arm and pulling to leave.He broke into the biggest pumpkin face smile, slapped me on the shoulder and gave me his 40oz Bud to take a drink from.What could I do? Heck I was an ex-soldier I grabbed the bottle and chugged the rest and handed him back an empty bottle. He looked at his daughter and said “This one is a keeper I like him.” 33 years later still married.

What he’s really saying is he doesn’t want to have to babysit grandkids.
