Emails between my dad and me, after I tell him about a beloved antiques store in my old 'hood that has closed, and provide a link to the store announcing its fate:
Me: If they knock that building down to put something stupid there, I will NOT patronize there. How does a place lose its lease after 29 years except because of jerky landlords?:

Dad:
That’s what my SMART Filter says. Sorry I didn’t shop there more often.
Me: Wow, naked statues are pornography. Okay then! I did a little digging, and it turns out the whole yellow building and nextdoor are being razed so this yuppie magnet can go in its place. Promise me you and mom won't go to the restaurant they're planning.
Dad: If it’s taking the porn away they won’t get my business.
***Editors note: There is nothing even vaguely porn-y on that site.
Also, lest you think he is some kind of perv, my father is joking. I think.
