This story just popped into my mind after years after being dormant:

>be me
>working a dead-end bank job
>no one plans on working there long term so the banter is good
>everyone just rips on each other all day in between customers
>unfiltered name calling like 'faggot', sabotaging work equipment, you name it.
>one coworker and another were already good friends before the job
>let's call them Kevin and Josh
>Kevin eventually marries Josh's sister, company policy requires one of them to relocate to another branch
>Kevin, who was relocated, will randomly call and talk shit or prank whoever picks up the phone
>for instance, he'll pretend to be an angry customer or say we lost a huge deposit or some stupid shit
>one day, I get a call and I'm greeted by a harsh, raspy almost satanic voice, "Is Josh available? I need to talk to him."
>I immediately fire back in an exaggerated and mockingly low, gargling voice, "Sure, let me see if he's available"
>put the call on hold and transfer the call to Josh
>A few minutes pass and Josh gets up and walks over
>"I have to drive to the other branch. Patricia, the branch manager, is really sick and needs someone to help cover her shift so she can go home."
>realized what just happened
>mfw

I'm trying to get some books (Preferably Novels) for my father for Christmas, what would you recommend to give to a man in his late 50's who is a veteran and a liberal?
