Acting Career
Dad: I’m thinking of pursuing an acting career. My goal would be to play an autopsy corpse on NCIS.

New Take on 4 Loko
Dad: I have heard that the Four Local drink may be banned in many states. You should buy as many as you can (maybe around 50 or so) while they are still on the shelves and then sell them after they are banned for profit. Love you, Dad.
