While we're missing dads, mine would sometimes say he didn't know somebody from a load of hay.

My dad's favorite was:
"To those who understand, no explanation is necessary. To those who don't understand, no explanation is possible".
Of course he also said, "Don't convert the squares. We won't have anybody to laugh at!"
My dad died before I was 21.

"Don't convert the squares. We won't have anybody to laugh at!"  I'm very lucky because my Dad is still with us. He's not one for pithy sayings, but any time he says he loves me is saying enough for me. Ooo, that and "how about a little wine with supper" HA! ---------------------- TEd...I forgot to add. I look forward to your salute every year too. I believe that a man remembered is never gone.

My Dad loved anything of quality,from architecture to winter storms and music from Blondie (in his 70's) to opera - but it had to be done well. Our childhood recitals and dance shows were torture for the poor man but he came.

From my dad I learned, among other things, to buy good-quality tools--they'll last a lifetime.
