One can do a lot of things with $170,000. An open lot in Canada, a John Deere 9660, or a 2004 Fleetwood Revolution RV, among other things. Or a full-priced Bo' education.
Father didn't pay full price for the Bo' education, but he has paid enough and four years later, he's showing a bit of buyer's remorse. Well, first, he tricked me into installing a printer for him. He started by saying that "we" should put the printer together. Then asked if I needed his help. Then reasoned that since I would be using the printer a lot more than he would (because of all the papers I write at home? what?), I should install it without grumbling.
Moi (holding the heavy printer): Can you help me pull this box off?
Father: Is this how they taught you at college?
(later)
Moi (talking to myself): Now where is that toner?
Father (sigh): You're sure you graduated from college?
Sad thing is, I actually learned quite a bit about printers, toners, and copiers in college. It was my most consistent extra-curricular activity and I pride myself in knowing my way through things with ink cartridges.
