Sep 2 2008Dad's Cab Racks Up Chore Fares For Toting Your Ungrateful Children Around Town
If you're anything like me you made the mistake of getting your girlfriend pregnant because she told you she was a millionaire. And now you're stuck with two (she told me she was worth at least $500,000 the second time) ungrateful teenagers that want to go to the mall everyday or over to their friend's house to do drugs and/or have sex. Enter Dad's Cab, an $18 clock that looks like a taxi meter. You just slap that mother to the dash with adhesive tape, load up the kids, and then drive them wherever they demand. Then, when you're slowing down to 25MPH so they can roll out, you toss a fare card out the window. Fares include "Bring me a mug of tea an the paper on the weekend", "Wash, wax, and vacuum my car", "Let daddy get drunk in front of the TV for the night", "Stop stealing my beer", "Get a freaking job", and "Run away from home".
Geez, whatever happened to using public transportation? When I was a kid, there was no asking my parents for a ride. They'd just pin a note to my shirt with my destination printed on it and send me off to the bus stop. And that, dear reader, is how I was kidnapped by a one-eyed prostitute.

Or you can just f***ing raise your kids right.

How exactly does raising your kids right have anything to do with them needing a ride because they are too young to drive?
You seem like a wonderful parent.

I'm loving the "rate" sticker.... regular, high, and extortionate. I can just see whoever's driving being like "let's see, just how badly have I been pissed off today... "

Talk about cheap, this company didn't even bother removing the display protector so they could sell the display unit.

There needs to be one for your wife or girlfriend. Every time she makes you goto the store for her to buy tampons or a chick flick... you can clock the time and trade it for sex... or points to get you out of stuff.. like watching said chick flick or having dinner with her parents!

This kind of reminds me of how "Icon" offers kids bribes to get them IN his car. Sorry, just joking man...
I hope.
