Father’s Day “A Good Father”

As a Guy…
• Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
• A 5-day holiday requires only one suitcase.
• When clicking through the channels, we don’t get stuck on one thing.
• We can admire Clint Eastwood without starving yourself to look like him.
• Gray hair and wrinkles only add character to men.
• If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong buddies.
• We only have six items in the bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and maybe a towel. A typical woman’s bathroom has 337 items.
