Wolf Blitzer in Residence

My dad is rarely seen without a newspaper tucked under his arm. He thinks the Internet is stupid and tolerates TV as a news source, but overall prefers the good old-fashioned daily newspaper as his main go-to for information.

Someone will walk into the room my dad is sitting in, reading said newspaper, and be treated to a recitation of that day's events--whether they like it or not. I know I'm in for it when I hear:

Dad: Do you believe this?

or

Dad: Would ya get a load of this?

He'll do the same thing when he's watching TV and someone walks in:

Dad: Can you believe this?
Me: How can I, when I don't know what THIS is?
