    …and at 40, I was amazed he didn’t learned anything new in the past 26 years and I was probably right at 14.

      Yeah, I was aware that I was a dumbass when I was 14 and my dad knew more than me. By the time I got to 21 and picked up life experience of my own I realized he was an idiot. That situation has only worsened as I’ve gotten older.

      Yep. My dad believes you can cure a venomous snake bite, ANY species, by giving yourself an electric shock, preferably from a spark plug. Works equally effectively (it doesn’t work, don’t bother) for literally any insect bite. He also believes witches are eating babies in the forest nearby. Needless to say, he doesn’t understand evolution either. He falls for scams left and right, always has.

      Really sweet guy though.
