Dad's jokes

On Father's day I talked about Dad Jokes, corny or dumb little jibes which dads seem to gravitate towards, repeating them regularly. Today I will offer you two of my Dad's favorite jokes.

He liked to ask young kids, "If you had twenty sick sheep and one them died, how many would you have left?" If the kid answered 19 he would insist the correct answer was 26 because what he had actually said was twenty five. Of course, if the kid said 26 me Pops would insist the answer was 19 because he had asked about twenty sick sheep. The kid was doomed either way and Pops loved it.

Then there's this one: "Did you know that the first batch of Spam was made in 1937?" he would ask.

Wait for it...

Then he would respond to his own question, "They're making the second batch next week."

Dad's jokes. I love 'em and use 'em myself.

Cornball humor

I have to confess, in fact I quite cheerfully admit, that my sense of humor is sometimes subtle and goofball. Do you care for some examples? You don't, I'm sure, but I'll offer them anyway.
I drive a lot for my job so I see many signs for many things. Most are ads, but some are for various attractions and activities. Some of course are just plain old road signs. Take for instance, as my son and I were driving to Boston in summer 2016. As we approached an overpass a yellow sign warned us, Bridge may be icy. And I thought, faux incredulously, what, today?
Many of the recreation signs indicate that after a turn and a mile or two you'll find Rolling Hills golf club or some such. I always think, so I'll go that way and find a five iron on the highway?
At times my internal jokes get borderline crass. Not that that stops me from internally making them, mind you. All around Michigan at one time were billboards which asserted that 1 in 5 children face hunger. I found myself thinking, so turn that kid around.
Yeah, I know. But you did have to choke back a snicker, didn't you?
