Riddle of the day

Q: What's worse than three teen and pre-teen boys with ipods?

A: A middle aged husband with an ipod.


Now, what's this about? Well, it's Father's Day, and in the last week, my household has welcomed a brand new, enormous, flat screen TV ("for everybody," of course) and a pale green ipod Nano. Getting the TV set up apparently wasn't too difficult (mercifully, I was not home while that was going on), but "Dad" had to delegate the ipod set-up job to one of said teen-aged sons. Well, said son took care of it this afternoon, and the next thing I knew, "Dad" was listening to his groovy music with a big smile on his face, occasionally looking up and shouting "wow this is great!". Hmph! It is not easy being the lone ipod holdout in this family......
