Neckwear: Miss Feeney's Finery

Arriving wrapped up in old-timey newspaper ads, Feeney's neck knots come in a range of colors and classic patterns (solids, stripes, paisleys, etc), but the twist is in one of four '50s-style pin-up girls that reside on the underside, which should totally distract people from the fact that he's wiping his mouth with his tie.

The not-too-naughtiness is at MissFeeneys.com. Type in the code "THRILL" for a 15% discount, too.

Weaponry: Sap Cap

This benign-looking baseball hat has back panels filled with a material 110% denser than lead, allowing dad to use the brim as a handle when self-defending himself against vicious attacks from your mouth asking him to pull over so you can pee.

If All Else Fails: Gift Genius

Crazy enough to not dig the above awesomeness? Then drop by GG and shop for your paternal one, using sliding attribute scales to hone in on his style, which'll yield appropriate picks from the Web, from a Jack Daniel's golf flask, to a personalized gallon mug of Tabasco, to a trip to Grizzly Bear Ranch, even though he keeps asking to go to that ranch filled with all those bunnies.
