SUMMARY: From the mastermind behind the popular parent humor website, HowToBeADad.com, comes a gift book for every occasion, featuring a collection of 1,000 of the most amusing—and most cringe-worthy—Dad Jokes ever.
Laughter is often referred to as the best medicine–and while these jokes would never get FDA approval, they’re bound to get some chuckles! This collection of Dad Jokes—guaranteed to be the most groan-and-facepalm-inducing book on the market—offers a broad selection of humorous (and often painful) puns and quips.
COMMENTS: I love Dad jokes. In fact, before I had children they were just called bad jokes. I told so many of them they morphed from bad to dad. Andy Herald has collected some of the all time best Dad jokes mixed with many you have never heard before. These are the type of jokes you can only find on better popsicle sticks. When you tell these jokes in the office everyone groans but at the same time everyone laughs. There is a tagline “So bad, they’re good. Maybe” and I have never seen more truth in advertising. Here are a few pages with examples of all the fun inside.
