Author Description

The term "Dad Joke" is used pejoratively to describe an unfunny, unoriginal, or indescribably cheesy joke, often made by a father to his children and elevated into an art-form during wedding or birthday speeches. Dad Jokes can be particularly effective with teenagers, often being weaponised by fathers as a "nuclear option" punishment, because Dad Jokes are acutely unfunny and embarrassing to their own teens, but the children's friends seem to find them quite funny.Dad Jokes might well be really cheesy, but strong cheese is often described as pungent and the author is a pun-gent who regularly provokes a face palm from his long-suffering family with the humour that has made its way into this compendium.This book contains over 1000 Dad Jokes on a range of topics, most of which are entirely arbitrary and some of which bear only a tenuous relationship to the joke which, for a book of anti-humour, is entirely in keeping with the spirit.
