M&M Bow Tie o’ Father’s Day comes to us courtesy of Nuk, my oldest sister, Mercedes’ husband of at least 8416 years. I swear they have been married since before the Pre-existence. Nuk got this M&M’s bow tie for Dad’s Day. Mercedes and Nuk always make sure they send me photos of whatever post-worthy neckwear they run into– even if they create it themselves. They are sometimes my photo suppliers. They are my dealers.
Nuk, whose given name is Kent, is one of the most hilarious people I have encountered in my long, long, long, crazy life. He can find a joke or snarky comment regarding anything. In the 80’s, when I attended Weber State, I had a professor who was boring to the point of actually putting me to sleep in class, more than once. In class, the prof had never once come close to being anything even resembling interesting, and he would not have recognized a sense of humor if Joan Rivers had come into class and performed a routine.
I lived with Mercedes and Nuk at the time, and I expressed to Nuk my frustration with Brother Boring. It just so happened Nuk knew the guy from some church work, so he had also experienced boring, mind-numbing time with my professor. With classic Nuk perspective, he simply said, “That man is drier than a popcorn fart.” Nuk nailed it. The truth is the truth.
