Ouch
What began as a conversation in reference to sc0tlas's time in college...
sc0tlas: I have been at [Local Christian Uni] for six and a half years, but I've been in college for eight. (looks at me) So you really can't talk about how long you took.
me: Sure, but in five and a half years and three schools, I only got a Bachelor's.
dad: (to me) And you're still a bachelor. (musing) Why don't they call it a Spinster's degree?
I got up and left.

Gosh, you think your dad needs help with his oral-footular extraction? Or has it gone too far and he needs a full-scale professional recto-cranial job?
Heh. Definitely the cranio-rectal job. This is typical. He tries to be funny or smart, and this happens. My dad's idea of humor is not always the most appropriate.
Spidey, I wish you could talk to my daughter...Her view of her father's approach is identical (and tbh i agree with her)
Ouch indeed.
spinster? What, did this conversation take place in the early 1800s? I didn't realize that was even a word anymore.
Why are we dads so stupid at times?
With your permission we will hold him very still and swat his nose with a rolled up newspaper

pbj- you crack me up. i like it. :p
Probably too late for a snappy comeback, but:
"I'm pickier than Mom was"
Now *there's* a response I'd be sure to regret!
