Dad steals the show
His mother's adjustment drew plenty of laughter, but it was his father who truly went the distance. After his neck was cracked, the man paused, then slowly reached up to check whether his head was still attached. He said, feeling around carefully:
"I think my neck is broken."
When the chiropractor moved to the other side, his father went silent.
"I can't talk."
Things got even better on the way out. Amos asked his dad why he was walking so strangely, to which his father replied, with full sincerity, that he couldn't walk properly. The family could barely hold it together.
