You can tell it's almost Father's Day. The kids suddenly
want to stop at all the garage sales.
Sunday is Father's Day, the day we honor dear old dad -- if
we can find him. Good places to look:
- At the golf course -- in the rough.
- At the bank -- cursing the ATM machine.
- On top of the house -- trying to hook up the dish before
the game starts.
- Under the car -- watching the oil drip.
- At the hardware store bragging to a total stranger about
his kids.
I know what I'm getting for Father's Day. My daughter asked
me what size aftershave I wear.
I always get aftershave. Last year I got raspberry.
My daughter made it -- out of corn oil and Kool Aid.
At church, people around me sniffed through the whole
sermon.
Want to really surprise your dad on Father's Day? Ask him
for advice.
- Clean out the garage for him.
- Tell him you love him a whole hardware-store-full.
- Ask him to autograph a baseball.
Last year on Father's Day we took Dad to an all-you-can-eat
buffet, and then brought him home and sat him in front of an
all-you-can-watch TV.
Dads don't return their Father's Day gifts to the exchange
counter. This means fathers are satisfied with what they
got -- or too ashamed to let anyone see what they got.
