Whenever me or my siblings would complain about being cold, my dad would tell us to go stand in the corner, because the corner was always 90 degrees. He also found it hilarious to have this exchange with people: Dad: Have you ever seen any pictures of Stevie Wonder’s wife? Other person: No Dad: Neither has he. ---

My old man’s favorite, which I used to torture my own children when driving past a bone orchard. You know how many people are dead in that cemetery? All of ‘em. A lot of Dad Jokes seem to involve graveyards. Make of that what you will. ---

There used to be a Wachovia (wah-KO-vee-ah bank in these parts till it got bought out by Wells Fargo. Long before that happened, a friend’s dad told him it was a good thing he started an account at that bank, because they can “watch over ya.” ---

Got this from my Dad and passed it down to my kids. As much as they groaned just as I did, I’ll bet they will share it with their kids. Kid: I’m thirsty Dad: I’m Friday, meet me on Saturday and we’ll have a Sundae. ---

And yes, my dad told a lot of them. But I don’t recall ever hearing them described as “dad jokes” until maybe the past decade. Actually, it seems much more recent. Anyone else perceive this designation as somewhat recent? The first I heard of the idea was from a comedian who had a successful routine introducing the term. It was new enough then that he had to explain the idea (“Hello Hungry, I’m Dad” – “Is there a place dads go to learn the jokes?”) (That was before I found the SDMB, so I didn’t know where dads could go to learn the jokes) I wondered later if he had invented the term. No idea who he was. ---

I’m 20 or so years older than my little sister, and we both like My Chemical Romance, and one time I told a dad-ish joke to her when she said she was going to be volunteering at an old folk’s home: I said “that will be helpful especially if they have constipation: since you’re a teenager you can scare the living shit out of them.” ---

All my best dad jokes had a visual component. The best reaction was gotten with the one where I opened the fridge, pulled out a lime (or perhaps a bottle of lime juice, it was long ago), and held it over my head, and said to **elfbabe** : “Look, I’m sublime!” She couldn’t stop laughing even as she groaned with pain. A triumphant moment. ---
