  1. You used to let me win when we played games because I was little. Don't expect me to let you win just because you are getting old, I'm competitive.
  2. Some people say that dads just sit around watching t.v. and drinking beer, but I know you guys do a lot more. I know you also like to go fishing, watch sports, fix the car, and while sitting around drinking beer.
  3. Has anyone ever made you realize how much of your life you gave up just to raise a kid? Sounds like dads are pretty dumb to me. Happy Father's Day!
  4. Dad, my therapist told me most of my problems come from how you treated me when I was a kid. So I took off my belt and spanked her for disrespecting an authority figure.
  5. I think I figured out that mom's are there to make sure we survive our first few years of life. And we have dad's to make sure we survive the rest of our tough life.
  6. Dad, the scariest time in my childhood was when mom would say, "Wait until your father comes home."  The few hours of worry were definitely worse than your punishment.
