© When I was younger,
there was no such thing as a "Dad Joke." When I heard the phrase I was an adult. In fact, I was an older adult. The term "Dad Joke" surfaced around 19851990. No one knows exactly how the term came about. One theory is that more dads were involved with their children more because more moms were going into professional fields of work during the late eighties and early ninetys. There is a point in life where dads are heros in a child's life. The time may be short in terms of years, but memories last a long time. Dads are humorous. That is one way they deal with everyday stress, by putting some fun in it. A child comes to a dad to tell them a joke. The dad will listen and make the face of true attention. Then the child will tell the same joke again just to get dad's reaction. This happens over and over. Moms sometimes get tired of the repetition. Dads carry on because it's the one on one that they enjoy. Dads sometimes tell corny jokes just to get the kid's facial reactions. Many times the jokes are simple. It is a way that helps the youngster remember their punch lines. It makes the youngster feel important. Many jokes are puns which indicates there is more than one side to things in life. -- -- -I have two dogs named Rolex and Timex. They are both watch dogs.

when it's raining in Sweden? I drove my Subaru Outback into the river. Now it's a Scuba-ru. Word about town is that NASA is about ready to launch a new mission to apologize to Aliens for Earth polluting space. It's called "Apollo-G." I hear my children have been on ebay all day. If they are still there tomorrow, I'll lower the price. A dad comes home from work and his wife says the baby has been crying for hours. "Can you take over?" The dad cried for hours. I saw a book at the bookstore entitled "How to Solve 50% of Your Problems." So, I bought two. The walk to the bar is 5 minutes but the walk home is 30 minutes. The difference is staggering. My friend asked my what the ninth letter of alphabet was. It was a complete guess but I was right. Barber: "I see you are back in for a haircut." Customer: "Actually, I'm in for all of them to be cut." Did you hear about the human cannonball? He didn't show up for work because he knew he would be fired.
