Happy Father’s Day, Illinois Land!
Even thought I’m not a huge “Star Wars” fan, I usually think about the scene on the catwalk where Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker, “I am your father” every year on Father’s Day. I would think 99% of the people reading this column over the age of 30 have said those exact words into the posterior of a 20” box fan.
It’s never not funny.
There is a similar reveal at the end of the third Austin Powers movie. I prefer this version of the trope. Among a long list of various gifts my Dad gave to me along the way, a sense of humor and finding funny in everything is at, or near the top of it.
