For Father's Day, we asked staff for stories about their dads. Here's one 👉Years ago my dad (who's bald) and I were in his car. I saw a brush in the cup holder and asked why he had it. He replied, "It's for brushing my thoughts." I'll never know why he had it. #thatsdadical

For Father's Day, we asked staff for quirks and stories about their dads. Here's one 👉 My dad would cut the top off a Lipton Soup box and taped it over the thermostat. Then he wrote "Do Not Touch" on it with a sharpie, just to make sure we got the message. #thatsdadical
