I know he was kidding. My dad has an amazing sense of humor and I love him very much, but unfortunately for him, the person he was introducing me to doesn't have a sense of humor at all. She now glares at my dad and yells at him whenever he makes any jokes about me. So karma did happen, no revenge needed.

If he is saying he fathered an ape, what does that make him?

I think I'd bitch him out, when in privacy

I wouldn't even wait anymore. If he's making fun of you in front of people he's probably trying to show off (in a ridiculously childisch way). So i would embarass the hell out of him.

It's just his humor. It's nothing hurtful unless he's reference to her appearance besides her hair. My dad used to make these jokes about me all the time.

At least your dad has a sense of humor, I find that quite funny.

@2 Would you find it funny if your own dad introduced you as his pet gorilla?

#11 considering that I'm covered in dark fuzz from head to toe, yes. Yes I would.

@11 I think it depends on who OP was being introduced to. If it was a few of my dad's buddies I personally wouldn't care. If it was someone like his boss, or a formal setting, that's a different story.

And the dad's brother would be a monkey's uncle.

Maybe you should get back at him for being old by introducing him as your pet polar bear?

#6, I didn't know that calling someone a pet orangutan equated to not having a soul. Thanks for the information, I'll be sure to immediately turn my soul over to the proper authorities should I ever use that as an insult.

#31 it is a common saying that redheads have no souls. how this applies to the father I have no idea, but it's probably a jab on that.

#32: I think you mean sorry...not sorry. You clearly are not at all sorry for being a grammar gestapo, no one ever is.

plot twist: OP is in fact a high-functioning actual orangutan

"mean" is present simple which works just fine here. Now be quiet and think about what you've done!

That was rather rude of him, I hope you talked to him about his monkey business. But on a serious note, I hope you're ok OP
