Father’s Day Card Cont. from Page 2
In the opinion of some dads, the five presidents above are not to be pitied for not fathering children. Because, as some contemporary fathers humorously state with a measure of exasperation: “Insanity is inherited: you get it from your kids!” THE U. S. PRESIDENT WHO FATHERED THE MOST CHILDREN. Shocking, but true, our 10th U. S. President, John Tyler (1790-1862) had an astounding 15 biological children! And keep in mind, that was before Viagra!
Today’s generation of dads face new ferocious challenges, such as the daunting task of helping their kids with their homework such as algebra, chemistry, and physics. And if dad helps you on your homework assignments, don’t be surprised if you learn something new and different from your textbook, such as when dad explains that reason and logic separates us from the lower animals. And also, unlike dogs and cats, we’re not afraid of the vacuum cleaner.
It is totally unfair to expect dads to be perfect. They aren’t. When I was eleven I found this out when my Dad accidentally hung-up on Pastor Jones – only because our honorable church pastor was asthmatic and Dad mistook him for another obscene phone caller.

WHICH U. S. PRESIDENT MADE FATHER’S DAY AN OFFICIAL FEDERAL HOLIDAY? A. Calvin Coolidge. B. Lyndon Johnson. C. Richard Nixon.
Correct answer is “C” for Richard Nixon. Calvin Coolidge supported the idea but did not make any proclamation. Lyndon Johnson declared the 3rd Sunday in June as Father’s Day but it was not made a permanent federal holiday. It was President Richard M. Nixon who officially and formally declared it a holiday in 1972. Today, all dads come with various nicknames, such as “Pop” or “Daddy” or “ATM machine.” Mom especially sees daddy as an ATM machine.
research found: “As head of the household, today’s generation of fathers live in a ‘disposable’ world’-- a world of gadgets and appliances that the under 40s generation cannot fix because they just expect everything to ‘just work.’ Young fathers today just chuck out their faulty appliances and buy new ones.” On the heels of the research findings, one British commentator joked with a sentiment of truth: “Fathers back then were far more clever ‘fix-it-uppers’ and knew how to cut corners, financially. If it was too bloody expensive to fix the brakes on British motor cars, then the owner might very well suggest to the mechanic: ‘If I have bad brakes, then just make the horn louder!’”
SATIRICAL HUMOR OFTEN REVEALS THE DIFFERENT WORLDS OF YESTERYEAR’S DADS & TODAY’S. Unlike the dads of previous years, today’s generation of working dads know that a louder horn in his car may not be the answer to clearing rush hour traffic on even five-lane freeways. Famous political and social satirical commentator, Lewis Black, weighed-in on the BBC research study by stating that today’s generation of dads should not give up completely on the Depression-Era horn concept. “In today’s 2021 violent and insensitive world, a louder horn ain’t gonna do it,” says Black. “Go with the times. Instead of a louder horn, get a horn that sounds like gun shots! Today, that’ll clear up traffic pretty damned fast!” Sadly, such satirical humor does not stray far from the truth. ALL DADS TEACH US WISDOM & VALUABLE LESSONS IN LIFE. In many ways, dads are a lot smarter and wiser than King Solomon, himself. They dispense lessons in life, such as how to fight fair: “Always remain civil and fair-minded in sports and even in debates. And never fight dirty.”
But, then again, never underestimate dads -- because they know how to fight dirty if they have to. So, the “Never fight dirty” philosophy sometimes flies out the window.
WHO GIVES THE MOST FATHER’S DAY CARDS? A. Sons and daughters. B. Wives. C. Grandparents. Correct answer above is “A.” Sons and daughters give 50% of all Father’s Day cards. Wives give an estimated 20% of all total cards. And approximately 30% are given by grandparents, uncles, brothers, nieces, and other extended family members.
Famous Jewish comedian and real-life dad, Billy Crystal, gives fair warning that when pushed too far, dads can fight dirty, but in disguised ways: “My Dad never got along with a cantankerous, rude neighbor of ours named Mr. Goldman (real name) who made life miserable for everyone. But my Dad never showed his anger openly in fear of setting a bad example of overt hostility for us kids. But when Mr. Goldman’s little boy turned 4 years old, my Dad gave him a trumpet for a birthday present.
That’s because daddy knows he’s an ATM machine and where the money is really coming from.
Point being, dads know how to fight dirty if they have to. You just may not know it when they do.
All dads are modest enough to tell mom she shouldn’t really bother in picking out an expensive Father’s Day gift for him.
DEPRESSION-ERA DADS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN MODERN DAY DADS. According to a recent BBC report, British researchers found that today’s generation of fathers – relatively speaking -- are unable to fix simple things like the older generation did. The English professor who headed the
“Odd thing was . . . Mr. Goldman was never known to be an early-riser. But that all changed at his little boy’s birthday party.”
ALL DADS HAVE ‘SURVIVAL SKILLS.’ By nature, all dads have keen survival skills. As Head of the Household, and protector of our families, here is a partial list of these skills.
