So yesterday was Father's Day, and even though I haven't had to purchase a commemorative card since 1987, I didn't want to let the occasion slip by without acknowledging the old artificer in some way…
Lucky Strikes Lava Soap A shiny Zippo lighter with a distinctive clink Strohs Beer Scrambled eggs Breakfast in the park Vitalis Johnny Cash Laughing at Hogan's Heroes after dinner Seagram's 7 7 o'clock Mass Baseball crackling on the radio Christmas trees Boston Cream Pie Proud to be a Marine Korea The Blue Velvet A Sohio Service Station on the corner of Mayfield and Wilshire Shoe polish Fingernail brush Ten-speed bikes for graduation The gospel according to St. Jack:
“I'm busier than a cat covering shit at fly time.” “Spoken like a man with a paper ass sitting over a bonfire.” “If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.” “Jesus H. Christ on a crutch!” “It's colder than a well-digger's ass in the Yukon.” “When I die, just put me on the tree lawn in a Hefty bag.” “I hope some day I can grow up to be as smart as you.” “Am I gonna have gas tomorrow? Depends on what I eat for dinner tonight.” (in response to an irate customer during the 70's gas shortage) “All I want for Christmas is peace and quiet.” “All I want for my birthday is peace and quiet.” “All I want for Father's day is peace and quiet.” |

Jack Collins rest in peace and quiet.
