"Ninety-nine percent of information in the world comes from our fathers (the other two percent come from us, Click & Clack). Throughout history, when a child asks a father a question, the father feels he must give the child an answer...even if he doesn't know the answer (which, as we said, is 98% of the time).
"What does a mother do when she doesn't know the answer to a child's question? She says, 'Gee, honey, I don't know. That's a good question.' HE says, 'Well, let me explain it to you...' That's your cue as a child that he has absolutely no idea what's going to come out of his mouth next."
Join Tom and Ray Magliozzi (better known to their fans as Click and Clack) for their favorite calls over the years about fatherly advice. You'll be charged, appalled, and, most of all, astounded at how often our fathers are wrong. And you'll be reminded of why we love them anyway.
