I thought it only fair that I do the same thing with Father's Day but after talking to a few dads I realized I couldn't come up with five bad Father's Day gifts. It would seem that dads are happy with just about any gift you give them. They

I'm in Walgreen's picking up band aids and razor blades, ironically, when I hear two teenage girls talking in the seasonal aisle. They are looking at all the Easter candy and toys. The first girl says to the second girl. "This looks like so much fun, I have Easter envy." The second girl has this confused look on her face and says "What? Jews don't
