I took it as, those fathers who even though its fathers day went out to get cigarettes for their wives? No?
As I remember it, the main character leaves the family home to buy cigarettes and never returns to his wife. Can't remember if there were children. I'm gonna try and look it up.
"Rabbit" Angstrom once yearned for freedom. One night in '59, he went out for cigarettes and never returned. He fled: from a drunken, child-like wife, and a dank, frame-house row-home apartment. From wealthy in-laws, and cloyingly supportive parents. From the town of Mt. Judge, Pa., once greener, once marked by the men that lived in it; from the city of Brewer, its asphalt and industries. He left a baby son, Nelson, and the promise of a second, unborn, child.
Rofl, I sent this to my brother in law to tell him happy Father’s Day. Edit: And my coworker. We were just joking about hookers in gta yesterday!
I’ve always just heard it as an old adage. The bum father says they are going to get milk/cigarettes but doesn’t return. Didn’t know about this reference, good call!
The only poster (besides myself) on here that I am fully aware left his basement to impregnate a female body is @UncleCliffy'sDaddy so Happy Father’s Day to that mofo. The rest of you bitches.... you’re welcome for my fatherhood. (Just playing.... even if I was your father, I wouldn’t claim you miscreants...)
