(A FATHER-AND-SON MOMENT WHILE DRIVING)

Zac said, "Dad, do you know what would be a cool job? I'd like to get a job working for the Coast Guard."

I replied, "That would be a neat job, but there's one problem. You hate swimming in cold water."

"They give you thermal suits."

"The water's still cold. You'll be great in the Coast Guard as long as they have you patrolling heated swimming pools."
