Happy Father's Day

[KW4MW]

Happy Father's Day to all of you, those of you that are fathers, those of you that intend to be fathers and to all the QRZ folks, YL's too, in respect to your own fathers. #

A father carries pictures of his family in his wallet # - # where his money used to be. #Mr. Anonymous

~Bill Cosby : # Fatherhood is pretending the present you love the most is soap-on-a-rope. #

Mark Twain: # #When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. #But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years. #

Harmon Killebrew (baseball player)
#My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. #Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." #"We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. #"We're raising boys." #

Lydia M. Child (19th century Amer Auth.) Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! #~

Clarence Kelland #(20th Cent Amer Auth) # # He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. #. #

Harry Morgan #as M*A*S*H’s Colonel Potter # I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich. #~

Red Buttons # Never raise your hand to your kids. #It leaves your groin unprotected

I wished my Dad Happy Father's Day today (he's 80).

Dad: &quot;Bah! That's just something they invented to get people to spend money.&quot;

My wife: &quot;You sound just like your son.&quot;

It may be Father's day and I may be a father but it still seems like I spend most of the year being called a mother. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Mother’s Day is about heartstrings.
Father’s Day is about hardware.

Mother’s day is a day of love and tenderness, given in the form of flowers, cards, candy and expensive gifts
Father’s Day is less revered: not planned as far ahead, less time is spent together as a family and gifts are . . . . .well they’re not nearly as expensive.

For Mother’s Day -150 million cards sold.
Father’s Day, less than 95 million cards sold

Mother’s Day racks up 150 million phone calls nationwide
Father’s Day comes close with 140 million . . . most of them are placed collect.

Mother’s Day ranks as the number one holiday for sending flowers, accounting for 25 percent of all holiday flower sales.

Father’s Day gets beat out by such bloom-crazy events as Thanksgiving and Halloween.

Statistically, men will get more flowers at their funeral than for all their Father's Days combined.

Mother’s Day is the biggest brunch day of the year and a bigger dining out day than Valentine’s Day with 38 percent of adults eating out.

Father’s Day sees 23 percent of adults eating out. It is a bigger day on the golf course which tends to attract a mix of all-male foursomes, couples and dads with kids.

Top gift for mom - clothing.
Top gift for dad - one of the 8 million neckties sold for the occasion.

Dad sayings:

No, we're not there yet.
Were you raised in a barn? Close the door.
Don't ask me, ask your mother.
Eat it! It will grow hair on your chest!
A little dirt never hurt anyone--just wipe it off..
This will hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.
# # # # # ##(I never did believe that one as a kid or a father!)
You're gonna like it, whether you like it or not!
Turn off those lights. Do you think I am made of money?
You want something to do? I'll give you something to do.
If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...
You don’t want me to come up there
Don't make me stop this car!
O K Enough is enough!

Now I realize that some of these sayings were uttered by both Mom and Pop.

But there is one saying that uniquely belongs to Dad.

Pull my finger.

No

It does NOT uniquely belong to him.
When my dad was still working, he would be down stairs in the bar, and my older brother saw this. He would challange to pull the finger. My brother Loren came in the bar just in time to see my dad pull the bar tender right across the bar and land on his head on the floor past the stools. And the bar tender was significantly bigger than my dad. Just about everyone would pull fingers, and my dad would pull with all of them and didn't loose once. He would only take on the winners. That's when none of us would never entertain any idea to take on dad.
