The Car Ride

I was driving in a car with my father recently.
     We were on our way to lunch.
     On my dime.
     I don't want to say I don't believe the doctor who told me that my father suffers from pre-Alzheimer's, but sometimes I think it's mighty convenient that whenever we go out to eat at a restaurant my father always forgets to reach for his wallet.
     Anyway, what happened next made me lose my appetite.
     "Did you just cut one?" I asked my father.
     My father gave me an innocent look.
     "Of course I did, son," he told me. "Do you think I always smell like that?"
