Everybody's heard them: Dad's favorite sayings, phrases, words of wisdom, philosophies, etc. They're funny, wise, annoying, and sometimes just plain goofy, but they've stuck with us through the years, and remind us of the man who taught us how to be adults. So what's your favorite "dadism"? Here's a few of mine:

Just do it. It'll keep your mom happy.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Always be willing to learn. No one can ever take knowledge away from you.

THE BRAKE'S ON THE LEFT!!!!

[Melpomene]

I LOVE YOU, DAD!!!!

[Just another Joe]

As you get older your Dad gets smarter.

Dad says to me now: You're my hero!

What a switch....

[Constitution Day]

Go ask your mother.

[trad_anglican]

Leave it alone, it'll grow by itself!

[Bahbah]

"Don't sit on the cement. You'll get shingles." (I miss you, Daddy)

{swwwiiiiipp!!!!!}

That's the sound of the belt coming out of his pants at Mach 5.

[Melpomene]

That's what he keeps telling me!

[Desert_Girl]

No bad ever came out of doing something good for somebody else.

My Dear departed Daddy said, "HellsBells."

The first time I heard Rush say it, I was in tears.

[peacebaby]

I say: Dad, you forgot to zip up your pants.

Dad says: No worry. The dead bird never falls far from the nest.

[Overtaxed]

You want your face to freeze that way?

[Fierce Allegiance]

There's a fine line between Saturday nigh & Sunday mornin, boy.

NO!

[George Smiley]

Be careful.

There's a thin line between Dadism and Dadaism.

[Melpomene]

We always got that preceeded with a "ooooooooooooone......"

[dfwgator]

"What are you going to put on your resume: dumbass?"

My dad used to check the locks on the car by pressing the button twice to make sure it couldn't be opened. My hubby does the same thing and I love it!

I miss you, Dad!

Never let a good insult go unsaid. You never know, the sonofabitch may die during the night and there you have it; a pefectly good zinger gone to waste.

"sssswwwwwiiiiippp!" At Mach 5...

and you forgot: "It's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you."

My Daddy has been gone for 28 yrs., but I can still hear him say to myself,and my 3 sisters, "I love you like out of a book"

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's in FReeperland!
