Everyone knows that I am the only one allowed to make fun of dead people.
And besides, the conductor can't hold a candle to my son Adam's Elvis impression.
That's my father with him.

Thank Ya Ma'am!
Favorite blogger Dale posted a couple of days ago about a train conductor who not only made fun of a dead person but was doing a bad Elvis impersonation. Repeatedly.

For some reason I am reminded of a short story titled "Black Elvis" which I believe came from the Missouri Review. Very funny story. The main character felt he was the best Elvis impersonator, until he met his match in a Chinese impersonator. Or was it Japanese?
ReplyDeleteHappy Great Big American Holiday Day!
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff JY, and a nice sneer by Adam!
ReplyDeleteJR-
ReplyDeleteI blogged some time ago about getting rescued by an Elvis impersonator. In the course of our conversation with him, he told us that he'd taken third place in the state-wide Elvis championships, and expressed incredulity that one of the people who'd beaten him was a turban-wearing Sikh.
Barbara-
There's an old joke here where you ask if they have a Fourth of July in England (the person answers no, of course, since the holiday was about our independence from England).
So, are you jealous that Canada doesn't have a Fourth of July?
Skyler's Dad-
This was the picture my dad had on his desk for some time before he retired. It's still one of his favorites. I think Adam was about four at the time.
What's really funny was that at the time, Adam's favorite song, by far, was Elvis' "Kentucky Rain."
I was worried Elvis lovers would beat me with my own arm for being such a prick Johnny so I'm just glad to have survived the ordeal (so far). I have no problem with your son's Elvis impression. Once or twice.
