A hilarious image of a balding dad wearing Daisy Duke cut-off shorts is speeding across the Internet faster than the General E. Lee ever raced through Hazard County.

The story behind the photograph is that a Utah father had reached the last straw with his teenage daughter who insisted on catting around town in short-shorts.

Scott Mackintosh asked his daughter Myley to change into a longer pair of shorts one night before the family was going to dinner and to play a round of mini-golf. When the unruly teen refused, Mackintosh on a whim turned a pair of jeans into cut-offs. He sported them on the family field-trip in hopes of embarrassing his daughter and proving a point.

Myley successfully ignored her dad, who was also wearing a “Best Dad Ever” T-shirt, through dinner and mini-golf, but when the family stopped for milkshakes she refused to get out of the car.

“There was no ‘Dad I get it’ or ‘Dad you’re the best…. thanks for that awesome lesson,” he admitted. “I don’t think my object lesson of ‘modest is hottest’ made the statement I had intended. But no matter if social media gets the story mixed up and twisted, my daughter will always know that her dad loves her and cares about her enough to make a fool out of himself.”
