My dad left for the airport to go overseas this morning. Later, I received this text from him before his connecting flight in LA:
“I m / n, g ^k f GRE”
At first I thought there was something wrong with the text. I called him back immediately and found out that the forward slash meant “up” and he was wishing me luck on the GRE.
“I am up (boarding) now, good luck for GRE”

I have a friend who’s middle name is “No”, because when her dad was filling out her birth certificate, there was no middle name for her, so that’s what he wrote.

My dad was once called Comcast and the client services rep asked him to spell his name.
My dad started, trying to be as clear as possible, “G for GOO. U for UHO…”
“U Ho??” The rep was so confused.
I finally had to step in “G for GooD (no silent D), U for U HAUL…”
