It is a very good name for a mountain though.

Has anyone ever addressed the universality of dad jokes? They know no national allegiance, they are wonderfully, dreadfully corny in every language!

Yeah, but that's vintage dad humor. It can be hard to find such a great example these days.

Your wife realizes she married a younger version of your father… right?

This is why Indian dad energy is my favorite energy. My CFO is probably one of my favorite people and your dad's energy is his whole vibe. He talks in puns and loves to tease people every chance he can, but in the most appropriate riding of the line I have ever seen 🤣

Every time you tell one of these stories, your dad climbs the ranks, closer and closer to Calvin's dad.
