Dad Jokes

 

My dad doesn’t tell “dad jokes.” He tells those long, story jokes. The ones with lots of characters and situations and detours. They seem to go on and on. Then, by the time you almost forget the set-up, he comes in with the punch line, “It’s too, too, too late!” or something like that.

Sometimes when people try to tell these jokes, they start off, “You see there was this famer and he goes to the bank, then the farmer says – no the banker says – no wait he didn’t get into the bank yet because the guard stopped him at the door …” Not good!

I’d read a book of those old jokes.  It’s an art form. 

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
