Why he might be annoying:
He used to chain smoke.
He overexplains lots of things. (What we mean is he explains things more than it is necessary to explain them. Usually this is done with an overabundance of details. The first such incidents occured circa 1800 B.C. when the ancient Phonecians....)
He refuses to cry in public.
After helping his son install his Nintendo Entertainment System, he wouldn't let him play with it for 4 hours, claiming he 'can't possibly enjoy it on as many levels as I can.'
He used to have a diet of a McDonald's Big Mac, fries, and Coke for lunch, a huge dinner, 3 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for snacks, and 4 thermoses of coffee a day.
He is politically ambiguous, having voted for Richard Nixon in 1972, not voting in 1976, Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984, George H W Bush in 1988, Ross Perot in 1992, Bill Clinton in 1996, and George W Bush in 2000 and 2004.
Why he might not be annoying:
He served in combat in the Vietnam War, earning a Silver Star and Purple Heart.
He is well read.
When he found he didn't know anything about his son, he took the time to get to know him, and even served as Cub Scout Den Father from 1990-1993.
In his early days, he worked 60-70 hour work weeks to provide for his family.
He missed going to the infamous 1979 Who/Cincinnati Concert stampede when his wife and newborn daughter were both ill.
He loves the Beatles, Led Zepplin, the Who, and Grateful Dead.
He is an accomplished guitarist.
He coached his son's JV high school football team to 2 Conference Championships. (1997 and 1998)
He underwent a triple bypass operation after a heart attack. (1993)
His work has led him to meeting Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and other high ranking officials.
While making small talk, George H W Bush told him "You know, Jay, I really wish I could grow a mustache like yours..."
He replied "Well, Mr. Vice President, I wish I could have a bank book like yours."
His anti-abortion stance is based in part on the fact he was adopted, with a biological mother who was 14 years old when he was born.
He has a dachshund named Cinnamon that he loves very much.
When his son became a cop, he called him on his cell phone every night to make sure he was okay.
