In the United States, tomorrow, June 20th is "Fathers Day". It's a day when kids and moms too, I guess, are supposed to honor the fathers of the family. I don't know if this is practiced anywhere else in the world, but it's a full-on holiday here. Moms get equal time, by the way. "Mothers Day" was a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway I wanted to wish all the fathers a happy Fathers Day.

Personally, I like Mothers Day better. My preference has to do with the way one can greet a group. It's fine and dandy to say to a group of fathers, "Happy Fathers Day!" but it'll never quite equal the force and effect of addressing the moms by shouting out, "Happy Mothers Day, you mothers!"

Sounds to me like it's time to take that BanStick with you when you next visit the voting booth!

Hi Mack

I think every day should be Fathers day and Mothers Day.
As Spud said the government has blown the national treasure and now we are part of Asia living on the smell of an oily rag and rice.

All the best Mate

Dont guess it really matters whos in the chair, as the cookie jar is empty who ever gets in.

I just dont like the chest beating some do, for empting the cookie jar in the first place.

If there's any truth to this statement, my kids are in a heap of trouble!
