14. LOL my grandfather would take exception to that

But my dad would agree with you.

The first time my grandfather came for a visit after we moved far away, my dad bought some really expensive filet mignon for everyone. He knew my grandfather liked his food cooked thoroughly so he made sure there was no pink in it, but left it pretty juicy.

My grandfather was incensed. "Why, this is RAW! Throw it back on for a few more minutes."

He wasn't satisfied until it was black on the outside and as dry as saw dust and as hard as a hockey puck on the inside.

My dad wanted to cry at the dried out filet. "I should've just bought him some cheap sirloin, he'd never be able to tell." LOLOL.
