Second Chances-Clean & Sober version

After discussing the previously mentioned evening with various folks in attendance, I think I finally figured out what Joke/Story I was attempting to tell at the reunion.

If I had been clean & sober, it would have gone something like this:

My dad calls me in the middle of church the other day.

Now dad has had some health problems lately, so when I see it’s him calling, I think it’s an emergency.

I run out of church to answer his call and this is what I get:

Dad: “Do you have a sickle?"

Me: “A what?”

Dad: “A sickle! Like you cut weeds with?”

Me: “No. I have a weedeater for that.”

Dad: “Nah, I’ve got one of those, I want a sickle. Wonder where I can get one.”

Me: “I don’t know..........maybe the 1800’s?”

Couldn’t he just wait a couple months and borrow the Grim Reapers?

 

Not sure being sober makes it any funnier, but it was funny when it happened.
