Here we are in the month of June, and I am spearheading a crusade to put an end to a long and ugly trend in this country. That is the trend of dads getting the short end of the gift giving stick. Father’s Day is coming up, and if you don’t believe me when I say dads get lousy gifts, read on. Ridiculous gifts like a barometer for his desk, just what every man dreams of. Come on guys. You are plowing through a stack of paperwork, you don’t want to be bothered turning on the radio to get the barometric pressure. Then it ends up on your credit card. Or another ridiculous gift like a combination shoehorn lint brush. “Yee Haa!” Just makes me want to put some shoes on. Three golf balls. That won’t get me off the first tee box. A leather bookmark shaped like a trout. If you even hesitate in front of the leather bookmark shaped like a trout, stop yourself! And give your father the three dollars instead, or my all time favorite, lawn tools! How would that be guys’ — a brand spanking new rake? Try showing up on Mother’s Day with a mop with a ribbon on it. See what kind of reception you get. “It’s for you mom, because I love you. It’s a “Swiffer!” I also got you rubber gloves!”
I have an idea. Why not treat dad to a comedy show. Better yet, make it a family affair and bring your graduates too. J.R.’s Comedy Club is one of the few places where the entire family can enjoy food good cheer and live entertainment. Let’s make it a June that everyone will remember with a smile. I will see you at the club!
