A 'petrol powered catholic' Dad sat snugly in his ‘wing backed’ chair facing his solar powered protestant son. Forlorn of face was the mechanised catholic, and slack of arm was the environmentally friendly protestant offspring. The purple velvet material of the chair pressed against the dads leathery old pig skin so hard that it made seven beef burgers and a wrench which had been shrink wrapped in polythene look like something you could buy at a fairly respectable dog auction, this in mind one could observe that the machine powered fathers inactivity was such that the fine material of the chair and his skin had become akin to one and other in holy union through sheer lack of movement and not any malign intent on the part of the chair.
Now you may be thinking what model of whimsical dad is this man of ‘chair, Sloth, machines and guts‘ and were does he fit into the death of princess Diana !
ill tell you should I ?
Back in the 1501, Henry Ford and Pope 'John Paul the 76th' decided to tackle Family break down by mass producing perfect ‘Christian engine powered dads’ to replace the miscreants you and I may call dads. The more common breeds of dad that can be found drowning their responsibilities at the local ale taverns were deemed obsolete, however this divine piece of mechanical engineering did not go entirely to plan.
Constructed from 14kg of Bible gas, 27.654kg of dodge viper parts and 138kg of pure human dad, it didn’t take long for scientists to discover that in fact far from curbing typical ‘dad hound’ behaviour it actually accelerated it ten fold, only with three times the fumes and four times the rants and rages.
However pressed by an ever increasingly angry Pope and horny Henry fords drum and bass factory regimes, the scientists and engineers were forced into releasing these 'cutting edge' dads into the market place prematurely.
As for the solar powered protestant son that tall tale is best left untold, for it often said the SS were long since disbanded when Vatican city surrendered to Mozambique back in 1948.
