Astros Announcer Is Gonna Regret Inviting His Dad to Spring Training

Growing old has its perks. For example, you can nap whenever you want (specifically, while driving) and this is perfectly acceptable behavior. Your food is liquefied, which cuts down on all that pesky chewing. And, best of all, you can get away with inappropriate advances on younger women because you're totally harmless:

That would be Astros announcer Jim Deshaies’ father not only embarrassing his son on live television, but also proving that sexual harassment doesn’t have to stop just because you no longer work in an office. You may have also heard Jim calling his dad a “masher” in that clip. Urban Dictionary, your thoughts:
A man who attempts to force his unwelcome attentions on a woman.

A woman is approached and touched by a man in an inappropriate way. She could respond by hitting him with her purse and yelling "Masher!"

That sounds about right. Although UD also says “Masher” can mean a woman who cross-dresses as a man, so now I really don’t know what to think.

It looked innocent enough to me.  It wasn’t like he grabbed her goodies.
