When You Love Your Dad Enough to Give Him Shredded Wood

While the original intention of Father’s Day was honorable, everyone knows that it (and Mother's Day for that matter) has just become a holiday for the retail industry. These days, pretty much every store has a "Father's Day Sale" with the intention of getting people to buy Dad more crap he doesn't need. This however, takes things to a whole new level. What exactly is the message one would convey by purchasing mulch for Father's Day? Seriously, I’m at a loss here. One would have to be completely out of gift ideas to settle on mulch. "I love you Dad! Here’s your gift. Now get your ass outside and do some yard work."
