A Dennis Anecdote

Dennis memory of the day: When Lisa was little her Dad took her and her brothers, at the boys suggestion, to see a horror movie at the Avalon.

 Seven years younger than her oldest brother, it was not a movie she wanted to watch, and for good reason. At one point in the film a guy is attacked with a knife, and brutally and repeatedly impaled against a tree.

As the guy on screen was stabbed, her Dad suddenly broke into song, singing "I'm all right" by Kenny Loggins - you know, the song from Caddyshack.

The theater audience laughed, but Lisa was mortified. 

Over time she came to believe he did it because he saw she was upset, and wanted to distract her from the movie. 

It's a story she'll probably tell till her dying day.
