Lol, I like yer dad's style. He was not speaking an untruth about owning the place, and that sort of raw fundamental analysis probably served him well.
My son in law is very high functioning Asperger's. He is an engineer...But the funny thing is, he has "the knack". Engineering, motors, computers, construction, ect...But trying to get conversation from him can be hard. You get him on a subject that interest him...He can go on and on with minute detail.
