Who is your daddy and does he do? If your father has retired or passed on, what did he do?

He's the head of the sports department of a major paper. Well, fairly major. Smaller than Chicago Tribune, bigger than Springfield Register.

My father drove tractor trailers for a long time. Within the last few years, he's done various things but not too much after a heart attack about 2 years ago. Whether he's doing anything now or not, I have no idea.

My dad was a punk rocker and has since moved to other things, like making graves.
How's that for a career change?

My dad is a drilling consultant for a couple companies out here. He basically hangs around an oil rig and makes sure nothing goes wrong, or at least that's as I understand it.

Heh. Rod Stewart was a grave digger before making it big in music. Thanks VH1 for that useless piece of music trivia!

My Dad's current occupation is sitting in an urn six feet under the dirt. I don't see him getting promoted anytime soon, it's kind of a dead end job.

Yup. The headstones are weak, instead of the old school upstanding ones there just pussy little plaques on the grass.

So our dad's are in competition.
I supposed they could split the work... or fight to the death.
