Speaking of dad's and welding, I was at the top of a smoke stack with my dad, holding a piece of steel he was welding to the railing. My left arm started convulsing; kinda like a really big version of that muscle twitch your eye lid does sometimes. I said, "Dad, I'm getting shocked here." He said "Does it hurt?" and I said no and so he says "Well fucking hold it then."
When I fell as a child he would laugh at me too. I love my dad.
