Ah Twitter, you never fail as a source of hilarity, especially when it comes to the gas stuff that celebrities come out with.
You’re probably familiar with the work of actor Richard Dreyfuss, whose major credits include Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and American Grafitti. His son Ben is also making a name for himself having starred in ABC's 2016 miniseries Madoff and for making Mother Jones the most popular politics site among millennials.
As such, you’d expect the guy to come up with some smart answer to the following question posed by Little White Lies via Twitter last weekend:
What’s your favourite Steven Spielberg movie and why?

"Jaws" because I didn't get a scholarship to college and my dad had to pay for it https://t.co/hrafuJBrjT

But his father was in like a light:
I used the Poseidon money for your college.

That wasn't college. That was rehab.

Richard do you wanna come to a class next time you're in New York???

Ben knows that the answer to this question is no, because though I support him, I am an old Jew and old Jews don't ride bikes.

This is like being home for the holidays. I'll just sit in the corner, drink, & observe.
