The only thing better than having an awesome job is having a whole day devoted to celebrating you for doing it. I’m already having a great Fathers’ Day, and I hope all you fathers and father figures are as well.

So much for “give me 6 hours to chop down a tree, and I’ll spend the first 4 sharpening the axe…”
