A young punker got on a Metrobus in St. John's. His hair was multi-coloured, green, purple and orange. His clothes were a tattered mix of leather rags. His legs and feet were bare. His face and body were riddled with pierced jewellery, and his earrings were bright feathers.

He sat down down in the only vacant seat, which was directly accross from an old fella who just stared at the young punker for several blocks.

Finally, he snarled at the old fella, " What are you staring at you old fart? Didn't you ever do anything wild when you were young?"

Without missing a beat, the old fella replied, "Yea, back when I was in the Navy, I got drunk one night and had an affair with a parrot. I'm thinking maybe you're my son."
