   Clearly, Rick doesn’t respect Jeff.

   Then again, Jeff hasn’t earned any …

   Hitchhikers, the improbability factor is very high.

   Well for starters, Rick’s standing back and letting him do it without so much as a word of protest. Even though the likelihood is high that his son will come back in a box.

   In that regard, he fits very well into the mold of the average Red State American. Amoral? Children do learn what they are taught.

   I suspect Joanie and Rick were a bit caught up in their careers when Jeff was young. Can’t remember.

   However, Jeff is an adult, and Rick does say it’s ludicrous. I suppose he could suggest to Jeff that he not go, but if memory serves, Jeff hasn’t listened to anything they’ve said for years.

   Brilliant! I’d turn this plot into a full -blown screen play!

   Are we sure Jeff isn’t Raoul Duke’s lovechild?

    Rick loves Jeff as any father should. It’s just Jeff isn’t “any” son.

    Joanie and Rick were very much caught up in their careers. Check August 1986 in the archives for good examples.

    Jeff’s the Tiger Child answer to Tiger Parents.

    Actually, there is no telling what a couple of college boy slackers can accomplish with no plan & dumb luck. I’d put him in a dress & call him Bonnie Prince Charlie, my crazy uncle. “You know his mind ain’t been the same since he came out of Bumfartz’ prison.” Oh, wait, I’m the crazy uncle.
