THE PORN SHOP

OMG my DAD watches The Champion, which is IMHO, The Champion of sad shows put out by Mediacorp Channel 8. Apologies to all the besotted fans of tt Toro guy and Fiona Xie (which is perfectly understandable because much of the cast have worse hairstyles tt look like things right out of 'The Ring'), but seriously, I thank my lucky stars tt Mediacorp has never done a serial on dragonboating. And I pray they never will. Because knowing them, they will massecre the sport about as badly as they are massecre-ing competitive swimming.

But enough of tt. Just had yet another lovely conversation with the Dad today. This time, it involved the experiences of The Porn Shop.

You know how when friends tell you tt 'Their Friend' visited this porn shop and ordered pornographic VCDs - Their Friend, not them - and then the guy at the counter does something like ask when Their Friend wants the VCDs delivered for easier receivership and all tt... And you turn to them and ask, "Waitaminute. How do you know all this?"

Anyway no, I'm digressing. Here's what really happened:

Me (to dad): "You know, my friend was telling me about His Friend who'd visited a porn shop and...-"
Dad: "Hey, I visited a porn shop too!"
Me (0_o): "What?! When?!"
Dad: "The other day."
Me: "For WHAT?!"
Dad: "To buy parking coupons."
Me: "To buy PARKING COUPONS?!"
Dad: "Yeah. I went to 7-11 to get parking coup
