19. At this point it's time for him to change your Diapers
After 60 years of living under your roof. The only fitting thing for him to do is to make sure you are taken care of.

20. Rent out his room
When he find out and askes "Hey, what the hell's going on?" just look at him with a slight puzzled expression on your face and say "I thought you moved out 30 years ago!"


-or-


Develop an unnatural fascination with knives. Collect them. Sharpen them frequently and with vigor. Give them names. Make little outfits for them. Call them "my precious".


:crazy: :-)

26. How about staying alive for another twenty years so he can't get
possession of the house. He can see it, touch it, but can't have it.

33. If this is for real, he's got to have enough money by now to buy serveral houses of his own.
Plus still have plenty in his pension. Even if he were scrubbing toilets all this time without house payments to worry about he should be more than flush with $$$. Sad to say though that hearing of adults sponging off their parent like this is not that unusual.
