The scene is a New York City subway. Seated together - somewhat awkwardly - are a 40-ish businessman (conservative in dress, staid in demeanor), and a 20- something punker with a purple, green and pink mohawk. The punker notices that the businessman is staring at him, to the point where the kid is finally compelled to say something. "Hey man, what's your problem? Didn't you ever do anything sorta outrageous when you were 22 years old?" "As a matter of fact, I did," said the businessman. "When I was 22, I had sex with a parrot, and I was wondering if you were my son."
