Quote of the day

I love my dad. He used to walk around the whole neighborhood and collect old furniture and fix it, like MacGyver with duct tape. One time, he brought a television home. I said, 'Damn, that TV has 500 channels. ' When I got older, it didn't have 500 channels - it was a knob from the oven. My favorite channel was 300 degrees.
