Happy Father's Day! Here's lots of fatherly advice from Homer Simpson.

“No, no, no, Lisa. If adults don’t like their jobs, they don’t go on strike. They just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American Way.”

“You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.”

“Don’t eat me. I have a wife and kids. Eat them.”

“Marge, don’t discourage the boy! Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel.”

There's nothing like comparing yourself to Homer Simpson to make you feel as if your kids are extraordinarily lucky to have you as a dad.

half of me says this probably isn't appropriate since sadly we have so many dads and husbands just like Homer. I remember a preacher actually talking about this once, "Father knows best becomes father is a stupid bald guy. DOH!" Put it down as a sign of the times.

Then again comparing yourself to Homer you feel a lot better.

Not only that, watch worlds strictest parents. Compare yourself to the parents of the UK brats sent to America to live with strict parents and some of these strict parents they just go overboard!

It really does make you feel extraordinary.

For all of their dysfunction, the Simpsons are a very close family unit.

My all time favorite:

I’m more like equal parts Homer Simpson and Hank Hill.
