Fans gather at a nearby canoe race where Phil has drawn quite a crowd paddling like a mad man for 1st Place.
It isn't true, what they say, "All Men are created equal". It has been proven countless times, some men are better than others. Phil has been our guide to this revelation. Whether he is dovetailing with Norm or searching for the perfect species of wood, Phil excels.
Thousands of people strive to be more like Phil. Milwaukee's Best sales are off the charts and everyone wants to buy a beer barge.
These are just the little things Phil does for us. Don't be afraid, many share your love...for Phil.
Here are the words of those who became inspired and want to talk about the life lessons they learned from Phil.
WOLF WOMAN: I'd rather sleep with Phil than wolves.
NORM: Come by New Yankee and check out my new hutch! Could I get those woodshop cabinet plans from you?
NORTHLAND CREDIT UNION: Phil never overdraws his account and he prints his checks very neatly. He likes it when we give him candy through the drive-up window.
NANCY: He always leaves me feeling quite dumbfounded. I just drink to make myself feel up to Phil's standards.
ZAC: Like all who stand close to Phil, it's hard to not be in his shadow. But then he'll turn, like for a beer, and you'll find yourself in the sun, so you have to move, so your beer doesn't get warm. That's what's hardest about being the son of Phil. Also, there has never been a more ingenious man at taking food from other people's plates. I didn't know there was chicken in "sweet and sour chicken" until I moved out of the house.
SAM: Phil is a kind and forgiving man. That's all I'm going to say about that.
Jenny: Working alone in his woodshop all day Phil cuts some wood and drinks beer
Whether it's oak or pine Milwaukee's Best makes it fine whatever the project is
He can do anything cause he's got all the tools
and a shop that would turn guys green
He's got 5 saws and a drill that really mess the place up
And a vacuum to keep it clean....really keeps it clean
We love your work Phil
We'd be lost without you
We can't change a blade or put in a screw straight
We love your work Phil
We'd be lost without you
You're change the world one wood project at a time
Dave: Phil brings out my enthusiasm.
