I'm not disputing the nature of the story, but come on people! If this guy was getting coal dust on your kids you would just sit there and tell him what a great guy he is?! Clown.
You sound like a DC dandy. Anyway, go ahead… tell the coal miner to go wash up while you hang with his son. I’ll laugh as you get thrown out the door. Nobody likes sitting beside a prissy guy.

Coal dust bothers you? Snowflake. I have friends in their 80s whose dads were coal miners. Coal dust wasn’t lethal — obviously.
