Reminds me of Dad

My father loved to try out new vehicles. Mind you, he never bought one. He just loved to torture me back giving me a false sense of hope that we might actually get a new vehicle.

But we left Thibert's Chevrolet and Buick empty handed every time. But that never stopped Dad from heading in - usually wearing his most raggedy farm clothes - to try and barter with Gary, the owner.

I remember watching this particular Cosby Show episode with Dad. I couldn't help but smile at the similarities. Dad refused to agree with me, but it's spot on. And besides, I always thought of my dad as a southern white Bill Cosby. Both had a great sense of humor. Both talked slowly and moved at the same pace. Both had similar builds. Both were great fathers and men.

I know EXACTLY how Leo feels in this short clip.
