Make magazine asked its readers for advice and tips from their dads. The collection they published for Fathers Day is eclectic, to say the least.

Whenever I’d got overwhelmed, my dad would say: “You know how to eat an elephant, Kevin? One bite at a time.” -Kevin Devaney

“Don’t tell your mom.” -Gary Sanders

If you ever have to shoot someone, make sure you empty the gun. That makes it look like you were scared. -Sam Murphy

If it can’t be fixed with a pair of pliers and baling wire, it can’t be fixed. -Wade Erickson

Dad: “son, hand me a wrench”
Son: “what size wrench you want Dad?”
Dad: “Doesn’t matter, I’m gonna use it as a hammer!” -Jon Oxford
