The Christmas Letter

We just received one of those family update Christmas newsletters from a guy that was my dad's boss about 15 years ago. He doesn't really say why it was so late, but it doesn't really matter. We always enjoy reading his family's news every year because he has a different job every year and is really pompous, which allows us to make fun of how everything is written.

This year, however, there was even more enjoyment to be had. There was a certain part about his daughter Alyse and we'll see if you think we're reading it too literally.

"Alyse is in her Sophomore year and is busy with student council, cheerleading, track and a boyfriend--I am searching for the right way to let her boyfriend know that I don't mind going back to prison if he should try anything improper."

Did anyone else catch that? "Go Back to Prison" Wouldn't that imply that he was in prison? Certainly missed that in one of their Christmas letters.

The going back to prison is a joke from Bill Engvall's Standup routine. He was trying to think of a way to scare off his daughter's boyfriends when she grows up. So not only is he pompus, he's unoriginal
