Dad

My father taught me a lot of life skills when I was a child: tying my shoes, changing the oil in a car, and using a Maglite to incapacitate an intruder.

But there is one thing that I taught him, that he mentions frequently. He brings it up while making use of it. If your hands are greasy and you are without a napkin, wipe your hands on your socks, because nobody will ever notice a grease stain on your socks.

You're welcome, dad.

And happy Father's Day.
