Judgement, management & mechanics

[Dan_ref]

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there, and all you
mutha's, err, mothers too. IMO, a good father needs to have
excellent judgement, mechanics and management skills.
Consider the following illustrative example:

Son: Hey Dad, can I borrow the car? Betty-Sue and I wanna
drive a bunch of friends down to D.C. to see Eminem.

Dad: (stops laughing) You're kidding me, right?
Shows excellent judgement!

Son: Awww, come on! You're always treating me like a kid!

Dad: Well, you can always get yourself a second job and buy
your own a car...insurance aint gonna be cheap.
Excellent game management skills!

Son: Ah, it doesn't matter anyway, 'cause your rear tire's
going flat and there's a funny noise coming from somewhere
in the front.

Dad: Grumble...grumble...grumble...
About to demonstrate excellent mechanical skills...
