My dad, who has a degree in education and works as a career counselor at a local college, will not properly use bold, italics, or underlining when writing email messages. Instead, he INSISTS on CAPITALIZING certain words for EMPHASIS throughout his WHOLE MESSAGE.
Genius punishment
Back when I was a freshmen in high school my grandpa would always tell me to go do some stupid chore like take out the trash vacuum the floors or clean out his false teeth and every time I would say no he'd punish me. a normal parent would have probably ground you, cut off your allowance or taken away your t.v. privileges, but no what that crazy old man did was worse he would delete the saves off my video game councils.

So I'm teaching my mom how to use email on her computer. So she's sitting in the desk chair and I'm standing over her shoulder. I say, "Ok, so turn on the computer". She goes, "Hold on."
