My dad's stupid genes have made me bald,but I appear to have picked up my mum's laid-back attitude so I'm not that fussed.
Also I have a hereditary mong-tooth. By which I mean a tooth that sticks out wrong, not a taste for eating Downs kids.

My worst inheritence is a mixture of the twomy mum's strong appreciation for the devil drink, and from my father, the potential for alcoholism. I see nothing that can possibly go wrong here.
Most of my personality and physical appearance is derived from my Mum's side. Who're mostly Welsh and yet, surprisingly, not short, dark and pube-haired.

My looks are my Dad's. It's his fault, in other words. Before any of you ask, the latent homosexuality to which you all so love to allude is entirely my own invention.
