The VERY Embarrassing Book of Dad Jokes: Because your dad thinks he's hilarious
A collection of "side-splitting" jokes collected from dads around the world, all of whom think they are hilarious Why did the banana go to the doctors? Because he wasn't peeling very well! Proving the age-old maxim that "it's in the way that you tell them," dads have always been renowned for being truly godawful joke tellers. Whether it's telling them at the wrong moment, misremembering the punchline, or it just simply being a terrible joke to begin with, dads are an embarrassment to the whole family when it comes to trying to be funny. This collection is full to the brim with jokes that only dad would dare tell—jokes that will make you groan, sigh, and then probably groan again. Dads take great pleasure in these kinds of jokes and some of them are so terrible they blossom into actual ribticklers—but don't tell your dad that, it will only encourage him.

I got this as a father’s day present, a book of Dad Jokes, well I did the only sane thing a Dad could do….I made sure the family suffered as much as possible by reading out the worst, most cheesy jokes in the book. Things I’ve learnt from this book:
Dad’s seem to love a joke if somebody has something on their head, like a spade or a truck. The most numerous jokes feature this subject matter.
Half the jokes in this book would get you cancelled on twitter if you were to share them on there, maybe this is why I was given the book…I spend too much time on there?
I am a successful Dad because I knew a huge amount of these jokes.
You can confuse the hell out of anybody by telling them the following joke: Q: What’s The Difference between a duck? A: One of it’s legs is both the same.
I’m going to give this to my Dad next Father’s Day and create a sort of reverse inheritance.
Some of these jokes were pure stupidity and some were new to me and still make me chuckle when I think of them. Here is the worst one and the best one:
WORST: Doctor: You appear to have a steering wheel attached to your groin. Patient: I know, and it’s driving me nuts.
BEST: Q: What’s acoustic? A: It’s what a Scottish farmer uses to control his cattle.
The book may have been awful and made me cringe so much but I did have fun reading it and remembering jokes I’ve not heard since I was a kid. So thanks to my kids for getting me this.

Nauru pidentää ikää. Ihan hölmöjä puujalkavitsejä, mutta nauratti. Yllättävän rentouttavaa ihan vaan nauraa hölmöille vitseille.
Ihan kaikkia vitsejä en tajunnut, johtuen ehkä puutteellisesta englannin sanavarastosta. Näistä kun monet olivat sanaleikkejä. Monet vitsit aukenivat vasta kun luin ne ääneen, esim:
What do you call a deer with no eyes? No idea.
tai
Why shouldn’t men wear Asian dresses?
Because it’s sarong.
tai
Son: Dad, that piece of fish had a bone in it.
Dad: Are you choking?
Son: No, I’m serious
Ja sitten jotkut vitsit ovat niin älyvapaita, ettei voi olla nauramatta, kuten
What have Winnie the Pooh and Attila the Hun got in common? The same middle name.
tai sitten näitä perinteisiä Ujo Piimä -tyyppisiä
What is black and white and very noisy?
A zebra with a drum kit.
Välillä piti vähän miettiä, mutta riemu repeää kun tajuaa vaikkapa tällaisen
What is a deaf lady’s favourite letter?
’A’ because it makes her hear.
tai tällaisen
What do you call a wasp before you kill it?
An isp
Jotkut vitsit olin kuullut jo aiemmin, tullut suomeksikin jossain vastaan, mutta suurin osa oli ihan uutta ja freshiä (minulle).
Ihan perusenglannintaidoilla en lähtisi tätä lukemaan, sen verran haastavia olivat sanaleikit ja ääntämismuodot englantia ei-äidinkielenään puhuvalle. Saattaa olla ettei britti itsekään tajua kaikkia näitä. Toisaalta opin paljon uusia sanoja, ja vitsit itse asiassa toimivat hyvinä muistisääntöinä.

Kind of a mixed bag in terms of quality, but I guess that was the point really.

August 4, 2014This was good Dad humor, but it was written by a Brit, so it required me to say the jokes and punchlines in British. "What do you call a deer with no eyes?" "No idea." See?

Some of these made jokes made me laugh out loud. Some made me groan. Some were so bad they were actually really good. In any case, even one good laugh is a very good thing.
