The Context
In my Father's Day post I wrote that my father "used to break into cars in South Central L.A. to support my mom and little Joe foo'. He even strangled a guy in prison." For the curious, here's the context that was lacking: My dad worked for Ford Motor Credit, part of his job was repossessing cars at night in South Central L.A. with his retired-Marine partner. Since many of the cars were used, they didn't have keys to them and had to break in them. I mentioned this in Yvonne's Ashes (though I believe he stopped doing repo work before I was born). As for the second part, it was more "choking" than "strangling." When my father was younger, he had a job as a prison guard at a minimum security prison. Once, one of the prisoners attacked him, so my dad choked the guy unconscious and handcuffed him to a radiator. He might still be there. 10 Responses To "The Context"
Boy, what dads will do to support the family! #2 - Posted by: Laura on June 20, 2005 04:06 PMIt appears your father liked dangerous work! Maybe why you are the only blogger I've read that is brave enough to take on monkeys & hippies? #3 - Posted by: RandyM on June 20, 2005 04:08 PMOMG, does that make FrankJ a maverick in the field of blogging? #4 - Posted by: Ricky on June 20, 2005 04:21 PMThats freakin awsome Frank. I wish my dad was that cool. :P As for what fathers would do for their family go see Cidnerilla Man with Russel Crowe, great movie. #5 - Posted by: -[Medic]- on June 20, 2005 05:13 PMThat's cool. #6 - Posted by: jonag on June 20, 2005 05:16 PMIt would have been more fun had I been able to turn on that radiator while I had him handcuffed to it! Couldn't find the key! #7 - Posted by: Mean Old Man on June 20, 2005 06:35 PMIt would've been better without the "all important context." Leave 'em hanging next time (like the guy on the radiator). well, I was close ... the guard was easy to figure out, breaking into cars - I simply assumed he drove a wrecker .... people are always locking their keys inside. But great for a laugh pete #10 - Posted by: peter on June 21, 2005 09:51 AMPost a comment
