Look dad's we need to have a proper conversation. You do a lot for your families, like a lot, but there is one thing that no one in your family can handle anymore, and this is your gosh awful jokes. Yes, we know that you love how bad they are, we know you get a kick out of the cringe they cause to anyone who hears them.

But there is an answer, and it begins with this list of dad jokes that only a father could love, because you, as a father, will love and appreciate them, and as such it is an appropriate place to stink up the joint with some horrible jokes.
