WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO?


The following is a conversation between Arnold Schwartz. and a random motel receptionist. Arnold's words are recorded from the movie 'Kindergarden Cop'.

C: "Hello, this is the Gator Lodge, how may I help you?"
A: "Good morning"
C: "Good morning..."
A: "I am going to ask u some questions, and u are going to answer them immediately"
C: "ok"
A: "Whos is your daddy and what does he do?"
C: "who?"
A: "who is your daddy?"
C: "Listen, you've reached reception and..."
A: "who is this?"
C: "Who is THIS?"
A: "This is detective John Kimbel; listen to me you idiot, I'm a police officer"
C: "If you're a police officer, why don't you come down here and talk to me - you idiot"
A: "Why you bitch..."
C: I don't know who your daddy is and you..."
A: "STOP IT"
C: "You stop it you big idiot"
A: "STOP IT"
C: *click*

It goes something like that (I only listened to it 3 times) but u get the idea. So that's where it became funny. WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO? Although, I thought, when someone said, "Whos your daddy?", it was a claim to them being your daddy...like "whos the man" means "I'm the man and u have to admit it". It's like saying u fucked their mother and hence own them. That seems to be the more logical reason for saying "whos your daddy?" but for historical reasons, should we instead regard this saying as a "testament" to the shown dialogue? Perhaps. But consider what Schwinger once said of supercedence of historical imperatives over the subversive nature of aliterative devices:
Although in nature itself we can lend our
own will to the testament of the past,
perhaps it is better to instead indulge in
the allusion of word whence from where
testament arose.[7]
It is indeed, notwithstanding of prudence in none but the most eviscerating of cases, of more than catagorical interest to "engender" our diatribe than to devolve into a baseless acrimony under which smitten statements remain such. By the very subversive tone of "whos your daddy", we can undulate under our principled bellows of justice and all that is right that which is sought by allusion over and to. "whos your daddy"; to say it is to beckon a self-righteous claim of ownership over an opponent, or perhaps by restoring the historical imperative of the remark we can invoke a feeling of control over them - yes, I instead could instill them with the feeling that I am Arnold and our opposition is akin to the conversation. But is such folly? Could they not reply "who?" and then allude to the illusion of opposition by which I smite? Would that not imperile my directive to trample their esteem by equating me with a FALSE opponent in a staged conversation? And what if I mean to stake ownership over them, as I would by saying, "I ownz j00"? To each his own. Grandpa.
