My dad didn't say much to us.

However, when I said, "I love you dad."

He would always say, "I love you more."



I can't repeat what my dad said - not even on the internet.:|

"Go cut your own switch, and make sure it has stickers on it. If it's not long enough, I'll wear that one out on you to the size of a toothpick and send you after another one."

This thread is haunting me. I can't think of one positive thing that my father ever said to me... but I loved him unconditionally...

My father has always had a very dry sense of humor. Dry as in "not funny".

He has said only one truly funny thing ever, as far as I know.

When my brother and I were kids we were walking down a sidewalk and passed a manhole where some guys were working. My father walked up to the edge of the manhole, looked down in it and, with a completely serious face said, "Catching anything?".

This thread is really making me appreciate my father. Not that I didn't already, but yeah.

A small selection of my Dad's classic lines:

"You don't have to be going balls to the wall 100% of the time."

"I don't care if you skydive, just don't BASE jump, that's too dangerous"

Every year on vacation when my brother and I were running around barefoot -
"Get some shoes on! One cut on the bottom of your foot can ruin a perfectly good vacation."
I should have listened to this one. Landing out while barefoot, on what was supposed to be a beach jump, in Mexico did ruin my vacation.

My Dad was the King of Bad Jokes:

"Hey look, a flea market! Why would anyone wanna buy a flea?"


driving by a cemetery:

"Ya know, people are just dying to get in there."

before dinner: "Wash your paws!"

"It's cold enough to freeze the tail (or balls, when we got older) off a brass monkey!"


Things my Grandpa used to say:

"I'm busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest!"

"He's so dumb he couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the directions written on the heel!"

A limerick he used to say:

"On the breast of a waitress named Gail
Was tattooed the price of Pale Ale
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind,
The same was written in Braille."


And when I was little he would tell us that in the little town where he lived (Irwin, PA) the population has always stayed the same, because everytime a baby is born a man leaves town. (We didn't get that when we were little, we just thought, "Oh, that's interesting.")

My dad gave me advice when I complained to him once about my ex wife.

Son- Life's a bitch, then you marry one or maybe two, then you pay taxes and you die.

He is in his second marriage for close to 20 years now.

"Get up! You can sleep when you're dead!"
"Pull my finger"
"Smart Ass!" (a LOT!)
"Goddamn you really fucked up this time!"
"You can join any of the services you like, but if you join the Army or the Marines, you'll have to come home after dark."
"Only sleep with a woman you would marry...but get all you can." - I'm still confused as hell with this one...
and the best memory...
"I love you" - not very often though....
