When I was 15 (1967) I came home from the barbershop. My 2 years out of the USMC father grabbed me by the hair & said "You call this a effin haircut? Hitchike back to the barber and get it done right"
We laughed about it [many years] later. Only two times in my life did he ever use effin in my presense.
LOL. They are truly a special breed. And thank your father for his service, if possible....
