Of all the parts I’ve played in the theater of life, being a dad is the most meaningful to me. Which is why I so enjoyed learning about Tom’s Bad Dad Jokes. As the Washington Post reports, Tom and Ann Schruben have started posting “Bad Dad Jokes” on a sign outside their Maryland home. The sign has become a neighborhood destination in recent months.
The jokes Tom scribbles each morning are supposed to be bad — and they are — but people love them anyway, which is why there is a steady stream of people ambling or driving by the family’s Kensington home on any given day.
A rabbit, a priest, and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, “Is this a typo?”
Tom started posting the jokes soon after the coronavirus stay-at-home orders came about as a way to jump-start his mood, which was getting a little grumpy as a self-employed worker in the environmental field. It was the suggestion of his wife, who pointed out that he loves all things corny.
Whenever I try to eat healthily, a chocolate bar looks at me and Snickers.
Tom’s jokes — which he often selects with daughter Darcy, 11 — soon became a hit.
If two vegans get into an argument, is it still considered a beef?
Like generations of dads before him, Tom has wholeheartedly embraced the bad dad joke.
What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
“Why dads?” he asks, then readily answers. “There’s always been a tradition of dads embarrassing their children.”
Happy Father’s Day, everyone!
Where do you take someone who’s had a peek-a-boo accident? To the I.C.U.

Good jokes, Nicholas. I have never been a dad, and my own one wasn’t that great, so I enjoy seeing families where dads are loved, and good to their children.
Best wishes, Pete.

Dads are indeed extremely important people on Earth. Ask any kid and your own heart, therein lies the answer. Hope you had a lovely Father’s Day. Girls are especially fond of dads. I do know being one. 😊
