During a family function we’re standing outside the garage so my friend can smoke in peace when, out of nowhere, his dad pops up. This just after my friend has taken a huge gulp into his lungs. The dad asks him a question. He just stands there staring at the old man.

Finally, in exasperation, the father yells, “Don’t stand there! Answer me!” The look on the old geezer’s face when his son opened his mouth and billows of volcanic ash came out. Priceless. E-mail lifestyle@sundaytimes.co.za On Twitter @NdumisoNgcobo
