A man was telling his buddy, "You won't believe what happened last night... My daughter walked into the living room and said, 'Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, forget my college tuition loan, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out the window; take my TV, and my laptop. Please take any of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash Converters. Then, sell my car, take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then, disown me and never talk to me again. And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to any charity you choose.' "

"Holy Smokes," replied the friend, "she actually said that?"

"Well, she didn't put it quite like that, she actually said... 'Dad, meet my new boyfriend - Mohammed.  We're going to work together on Hillary's election campaign'."

   Clearly a father of infinite self-restraint. I wouldn't have heard anything past "Mohammed."

Self-restraint? That's one way of describing it, I guess. He didn't drop a nuclear bomb.

I think the true humor in the joke is the dad's viewpoint -- he had all his sanctions lined up, like charges in a demolition string, and he wasn't exactly shy about lighting the fuse. 

There would be no joke at all if it were a mom instead of a dad objecting. Few charges, no fuse, much hankie-soaking.
