Macho Died With Your Father

Mom: I found a box in the attic full of your Dad’s Fields & Streams magazine collection. They are from 1976 through 1981 and surely are worth something, do you want them? Course some of them are missing pages because he would take these on his fishing trips and would pull pages out to use as toilet paper. He was such a macho man (sigh).
Me: Mom, I don’t even know how to respond to this so I’ll just say no thanks.
Mom: What? I thought his machoness was kinda hot.
Me: Trust me, it’s not and no one say’s “macho” anymore.
Mom: So you’re saying machoness died with your father?
Me: Um, ok, I’ll go with that.

      Oh, Lordy! I have to send this to my mom and brother. In addition to 60 years of Field and Stream, we also have Sports Afield, The Louisiana Conservationist, and too many to name. A fire hazard in the attic, along with rotting duck and goose decoys. Let’s chat!
