A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was
nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped
up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, "DAD"

With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter
with trembling hands:

Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope
with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mom and you.
I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice-even with all
her piercing, tattoos, and her tight Motorcycle clothes. But it's not only
the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be very happy.
Even though you don't care for her as she is so much older than I, she
already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the
whole winter. She wants to have many more children with me and that's now
one of my dreams too. Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt
anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for
all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that
science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure
deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of
myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know
your grandchildren.

Your son, John

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house, just
wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the report
card that's in my desk center drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for
me to come home.
