Where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving deli owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French cobbler named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. There really is nothing like a shorn knuckle, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
