the kid
A teenager plops down on a bench next to an old man. He has spiked hair in all different colors: red, green, orange, blue, and yellow.
The old man just stares. Every time the teenager looked, the old man is staring.
Finally, the teenager says sarcastically, "What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?"
Without batting an eye, the old man replies, "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. Just wondering if you might be my kid?"
