Surely you laughed at least a little bit at that.
Dad jokes have a real love-hate relationship with society – you either burst out laughing or you walk off, get into your car and leave the scene.
I tell jokes like this all the time, some original and some not so original – such as those found on a website – which my friends and family get rather annoyed about.
I can tell by the way they walk away or shake their heads in disbelief.
This situation can be very awkward – almost as awkward as when you think someone is waving at you but they are in fact waving at someone else behind you.
As far as I’ve been told, I’m not a dad yet - but on that note, Happy Father’s Day for Sunday to all the dads out there.
I’m assuming when I do have children, my dad jokes will only get worse or possibly even funnier.
There is a time and a place for these sorts of jokes but I’m not a good judge of these situations unfortunately.
I once tried to console a family member at a funeral with a good pun.
Let’s just say you would get a better reception with Vodafone.
Work can be a good place to lighten the mood with a joke.
My workmates give me mixed reactions; I’m still trying to work out if they don’t like the joke, love the jokes or they are jealous of my hilarity.
I’ve developed many nicknames with my friends and family while I’m in a mood for puns – even though those names might be ‘shut up’ or ‘not funny’.
I’m sure they are only kidding.
The last line of defence for a dad joke fail is this: if you laugh first and someone else follows, then you have in fact doubled the amount of laughter.
That’s a win I’d say.
