Happy Father's Day . . .

to all you dads out there. The world needs you more than ever. My traditional Father's Day post --

Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a baby
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then, fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again.

Laurence Sterne (Tristram Shandy)
I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me.

Mozart
Directly after God in heaven comes a Papa.

Chinese Proverb
If a son is uneducated, his dad is to blame.
