Larry's father never knew what hit him.  Too bad the same couldn't be said for his son, Larry.  Perhaps this is why dear, dead old dad keeps returning from beyond the grave--to help, rather than haunt.  (Can he really be to blame if his spectral appearance is that of a 12-foot spectre with a huge pair of scissors jutting from his head?)

Whatever the case may be, he is never far from his son's thoughts.  As Larry so succinctly puts it when pressed by his father's ghost to cut his hair, "I don't want to wind up like you!"
