How to write funny Father's day messages

Most dads love being teased about dad things: the jokes, the grill, the thermostat, the way they stand with hands on hips looking at a lawn. A funny Father's Day card speaks his language. The best ones pick one of those habits and celebrate it, so he feels known and loved.

End with a short sincere line, like "Thanks for everything, Dad". It might be the line he remembers most, even if he only laughs at the joke out loud. Grown kids, little kids and partners can all use these; just pick the joke that fits your dad.
