Me and my folks recently had dinner together.

It was seafood... in a place that was so packed it took 50 minutes to sit down.
For seafood. 

Sheesh. These people must know of no other place to eat on a Saturday night.
Why don't they go to Denny's?

Denny's serves fish! 

It took so long to get seated that my dad began quivering with fury. Hungry fury.
I've seen this look before. 

Pops was about to get all Chuck at Market Broiler.
Fortunately, his clam chowder came and calmed him down.
My parents have been married for 50 years. Last month, they celebrated their anniversary.
People usually don't know how to react when I tell them my parents have been married for half a century.
But it's true. When they got married, Buddy Holly walked the earth. 

And Stegosaurus too.
My parents deserve better then Denny's, man.
No Moon Over My Hammy's for them, no sir!
