When the neighbor kids try to get their dad to get the Internet...

You know how the conversation really went?

Dad 1: "My kids keep pestering me to get the Internet. It's $50 a month and it's good for five hours a month. Seems kind of expensive."

Dad 2: "Dude, you know how we hit the strip club and pay $200 each for our 'special' shows in the Champagne Room every Thursday and Sunday?"

Dad 1: "Yeah?"

Dad 2: "You get to see that on the Internet. From home. In your boxers. AND you can't get in trouble for whipping it out and beating off... AGAIN."

Dad 1: "Oh, fuck yeah! Hey, Honey? Tell the kids to get their helmets and pump up the bike tires! We're getting on the Information Superhighway RIGHT NOW!"
