Thanks to my deceased father, I have no trouble with being a Father's Day skeptic. Mine suspected that the day was designed to sell something and he wanted none of it!
I suspect he had a point. A friend remembers celebrating the day in the 1950s by giving this item to her dad:
What's this?
Oh, a stand for reading the morning paper...
or shutting out the little wife, perhaps?
Some humor doesn't wear well.
