    'Dad jokes'

    'Dad Jokes'. Short one line comments or very brief jokes ... usually so bad they make you groan rather than laugh. I guess they've always been around but only recognised as'a thing' in the last couple of years.

    My best was about 15 years ago driving my daughter back to boarding school after a weekend at home. Things were pretty quiet on the last little bit of the journey between Pukeuri and Oamaru. I saw a farmer in his paddock looking at some stuff on the ground. I said to my daughter "Look, you can tell he's a really good farmer". "How?" says she suspiciously. "Because ... he's out standing in his field!". She was still giggling when we hit Oamaru 5 minutes later and still reminds me of it to this day.

    What's the best you have come up with ... or had inflicted on you?

    Creating verses for the diarrhea song seems to amuse the little sweethearts, a lot (alot is not one word she says). Most notably:

    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Now there's a great rhyme! I used to get in trouble from Mrs Oakie with the girls' bedtime story when instead of reading them one, at their insistence, I'd make one up. They usually included daleks, elephants and bottoms and the girls would be wide awake and in no condition for bed after I'd finished. At least they finished their day laughing.

    Finally after many years of dedication, my Dad joke was published in the June issue of TV Guide, my age and name was altered to protect the innocent. My prize duly turned up a week or so later.
