From On Patrol #6: Christmas Is Here
October 24th, 2011
About halfway through that first term, my dad came up to visit and watch me do the show. This bit was an extension of a call he did in the very first episode, the plot of which involved him renting out my room to this macho-type guy named Chad. There’s something about this bit that just makes me smile: maybe it’s the way my dad plays it, or just the absolute absurdity of the premise. I’d actually been tossing around this idea of Senior Citizen Fake I.D.’s for around ten years, ever since I saw an advertisement for the discount outside a Sara Lee store. It still makes me laugh when he talks about Chad’s friends (“You just got Stooged!”) and when he says, “You can spend three hours putting a guy in a funny hat.”
