I think a little backstory should always be given, either in the original post or the comments, by the stevenson brother at whom the comment was directed.
This is a quote from A Christmas Story that reminds me of your pops:
"My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium, a master."
The reason I didn't give any backstory on this one is the fact that this is sort of a staple of my dad's vocabulary. It's like his own private truism that he tosses out like others might say "you've got to cut your losses" or some such thing.
I actually can't remember the original. If I had to guess, I think it was when the transmission on my truck went out a few years back. I was like "$1000?! Wtf?" And Dad was all "Well, you HAVE to fix it. Just, 'take it in the ass, and move on down the road.'" Like llogg said, it's a staple of the Dad vocab.

Classic. Snake should give the backstory. I think this one was his.

...but in a good way.

Yeah, but I thought Dad said it for the first, or maybe most memorable, time to Jake. I forgot the circumstances.
I agree with Roy - the backstory is going to be a funny part of this whether in the orignal post, comments or added to the post later.
