 33 Fabulous Father's Day Gift Ideas
Here’s the thing about dads: they always say they don’t need anything for Father’s Day, making it nearly impossible for us to buy something they actually want. They always seem to be making-do with something that just isn’t ideal, like a rusted-out grill, or an ancient bike with a crack in the frame or scratched-up sunglasses. So here’s your chance to get something really great for Father’s Day.

 A clergyman, walking down a country lane, sees a young farmer struggling to load hay back onto a cart after it had fallen off.
"You look hot, my son," said the cleric. "Why don't you rest a moment, and I'll give you a hand."
"No thanks," said the young man. "My father wouldn't like it."
"Don't be silly," the minister said. "Everyone is entitled to a break. Come and have a drink of water."
Again the young man protested that his father would be upset. Losing his patience, the clergyman said, "Your father must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and I'll give him a piece of my mind!"
"Well," replied the young farmer, "he's under the load of hay."

Veggie Black Bean Balls
By Horatio Hornblower
|
|
• 2 cups black beans, cooked
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2tbsp. grated parmesan
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2tbsp. chopped cilantro
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
|
|
Preheat the oven to 375, and line or grease a baking sheet. Pulverize the beans in a food processor. Add the eggs, sour cream or yogurt, cilantro, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs to the beans. Stir well. Roll the mixture into balls, adding extra breadcrumbs if they don't stick together well. Bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, and turn them over at least once while they're in the oven.
Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream or greek yogurt, and fresh tortillas. Salt and pepper to taste. We like them with eggs for brunch, or on a bed of lettuce for lunch or dinner.

Nine-year-old Aaron came home from the playground with a bloody nose, black eye, and torn clothing. It was obvious he'd been in a bad fight and lost. While his father was patching him up, he asked his son what happened.
 "Well, Dad," said Aaron, "I challenged Larry to a duel. And, you know, I gave him his choice of weapons."
"Uh-huh," said the father, "that seems fair."
"I know, but I never thought he'd choose his sister!"

As I was trying to pack for vacation, my 3-year-old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed.
At one point, she said, "Daddy, look at this," and stuck out two of her fingers. Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her fingers in my mouth and said "Daddy's gonna eat your fingers," pretending to eat them before I rushed out of the room again.
 When I returned, my daughter was standing on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look on her face and tears running down her face.
I said, "What's wrong honey?"
Sad and broken up, she looked at me and said, "Daddy, where's my booger????"
