My family took a 2 week camping trip to the Grand Canyon when I was 10. After packing up the wood grain station wagon, my parents, older sister, the family dog and myself climbed into the car. As my dad was backing out of the camping site, he backed into a ditch where big clumps of grass became stuck in the bumper. Dad, being in the big rush he was, moved onto the next camping site but didn’t bother to clean it out. When we hit the border of Arizona, the toll guy asked us if we were transporting any fruit over the border and my dad replied, “No, but we have a little grass in the back.” Awkward.

It reminds me of the time my sister and I were entering a national park. The ranger asked us if we had any glass and my sister said “Just my bong”. He wasn’t amused.
Brilliant.
(So, what was it like spending an afternoon with law enforcement going through every square inch of the family “Woody” with a fine-toothed comb?)
Did you slip that Woody reference in on purpose?
Hm, that’s better than my story. My husband’s last name begins with a ‘P’. A few years ago we went to the DC metro area for some work he had to do. While there, we decided to see a Capitals’ pre-season game. We got to “Will Call” to pick up our tickets, and my husband says to the woman there, “I gotta ‘P’!” Of course, everyone started to laugh.
I’d bet no one was laughing when your dad said he had some grass in the back.
hahahaha oh man…whata story.
do i detect a hint of sarcasm
Thanks Teri for this…I think you should tell Dad that you posted it. He still thinks it’s hysterically funny 30 years later! Come to think of it, I don’t think my kids would get that joke now…I apparently don’t expose them to enough drug humor!
It reminds me of One Foot In The Grave where Victor had to have a cavery search after a customs inspector asked if he was alright & his replay was “Yes apart from the crack in my bottom”
Words can’t describe how lame this is.
Yeah, this isn’t awkward at all, this is dumb.
Not awkward? You weren’t sitting in the car with a cop looking in the windows.
Dad humor…*SNORT!*
Is your last name Griswald per chance?
Ha ha ha ha!! Exactly!
*Facepalm*
Its not lame, its awesome
hehehehehe and thats all I’ve got to say about that
