Everyone loves a good joke. One that gives you a surprising funny zinger. The kind that you can’t wait to tell your friends. We also love our fathers. But when you put the two together, you get … ‘DAD JOKES’!!!
When does a joke become a ‘dad joke’. When it becomes apparent!!! (Sorry, couldn’t pass that one up!!!)
We’ve all heard them, jokes your dad told that made you moan. Even worse, he would tell them to all your friends, and you cringed a little each time.
“How much does a pirate pay for corn? A buccaneer!!”
“What do you give a sick lemon? Lemon-aid”.
And remember, “Don’t try writing with a broken pencil. It’s pointless”.
The truth is, deep inside, you kind of laughed, but didn’t want to admit that it was pretty funny. It is fascinating that even though there was major ‘eye-rolling’ when you heard them, you’ve told many of those same ‘groaner’ jokes to your buddies, and your children…more than once.
See how many of these you remember. There may even be a few you want to share…and get a few of those ‘eye-rolls’.
