Fathers Day Tidbits

"Fathers Day Tidbits"

If my son is getting half as much out of college
as the college is getting out of me, he'll be
a success.

Father's Day was both a joy and a worry as
my kids were growing up. I was always afraid
they were going to give me a present that I
couldn't afford.

I've got 3 TVs, cable, & a satellite dish; I have
3 phone lines in the house, a cell phone &
one in the car, plus a pager. I use 2 computers,
3 ISPs and a fax. I subscribe to two daily papers
& one weekly one. I watch both the local &
network news every evening. And my kids
have the nerve to tell me I'm out of touch.

With divorce and remarriage so common
these days, pity the poor kids. Most of them
know what to buy for Father's Day -- they just
don't know which "Father" to give it to.

Neither of my kids ever understood my logic.
Both of them failed to see why they had to go
to bed when I was tired.

"Passing On Knowledge"

A father and son went fishing one day. After
a couple hours out in the boat, the boy
suddenly became curious about the world
around him. He asked his father, "How does
this boat float?"

The father thought for a moment, then replied,
"I don't rightly know, son."

The boy returned to his contemplation, then
turned back to his father, "How do fish breath
underwater?"

Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly
know, son."

A little later the boy asked, "Why is the sky blue?"

Again, the father replied. "Don't rightly know,
son."

Worried he was going to annoy his father, he
says, "Dad, do you mind my asking you all
of these questions?"

"Of course not, son. If you don't ask questions ...
you'll never learn anything!"
