CHUCKLE: Parents gave their teenage daughter family-car privileges. The morning after she returned home late from a Saturday party, her father went to the driveway to get the newspaper and came back into the house frowning. At 11:30 a.m., the girl sleepily walked into the kitchen, and her father asked her, "Sweetheart, what time did you get in last night?" "Not too late, Dad." she replied nervously. Dead-panned, her father said, "Then, my precious one, I'll have to talk with the paperboy about putting my paper under the front tire of the car."
