Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day 2010 Is Centennial: How Did It Start?: "As Father's Day hits its centennial on June 20, 2010, sons and daughters around the world are expected to open their wallets wider—slightly—in celebration. Because of the slowly recovering global economy, people are expected to spend about 4 percent more than in 2009 on cards, ties, tools, clothes, and other Father's Day gifts.

But the first Father's Day, a hundred years ago, was decidedly humbler, and refreshingly noncommercial."

Hope you get a cool hat like that for Father's Day, Bill.

Or at least a book.

Wow, your dad's a ringer for Burt Lancaster! That explains where you got your movie-star looks.

Right. Those movie-star looks have gotten me a lot of chicks over the years.
