. I agree, very funny. . It made me a little sad, though, because I hope others like Mike here realize what a blessing they have in parents who are alive. . Because after they're gone, you can't take them places anymore, and you can't enjoy being embarrassed anymore. . So go ahead, and take your parents all over the world, if you can. . Spend as much time as you can with them, even time you think you can't afford. . And when they ask you if you'd like to go with them someplace, don't say no, because you'll live to regret it. . Because once it's too late there's no chance of making up for lost time. . Between the lines of this funny story, I can see the hidden message, that Mike Rowe really does appreciate his parents. . And being a little embarrassed is a very small price to pay. I think he knows that.
