Why Dad Jokes Are The Way To My Heart

Even though they're corny, I can't get enough of them.

Why Dad Jokes Are The Way To My Heart

Everyone has heard a good dad joke. For example, whenever you say, “Dad, I’m hungry,” he replies, “Hi, Hungry, I’m Dad.” Or consider the classic, “How do you make a Kleenex dance? Put a little boogie in it.” Yes, yes, I know. It's very funny and very, very corny, to say the least.

Well I’m here to tell you fellas that I eat that stuff up, and honestly, I truly think most girls do too. I know it’s weird, but I find it kind of cute when guys tell those corny jokes like “Two guys walk into a bar, the third one ducks.” That made you smile, didn’t it? I would much rather listen to a ton of dad jokes such as “What’s Forrest Gump’s password? 1forrest1,” than sit through a very crude, racist, or sexual string of jokes.

There is something humbling about a boy telling a corny dad joke. It shows me that they aren’t trying to be too funny or a stand-up comic, but they do want to make me laugh a little and impress me with their hilariousness. With those not-so-funny dad jokes, they accomplish their goal of making me laugh.

Dad jokes really aren’t that funny in comparison to other jokes, but they are harmless, and you have to admit that they really do make you smile, at least. They aren’t offensive in any way, so they are perfect jokes to tell anywhere you go. With some of the jokes out there being derogatory and mean, a good dad joke will lighten the mood and have everyone giggling. One of my personal favorites is “Two termites walked into a bar. One said to the other, is the bar-tender here?” (Come on, you have to admit that one was funny.)

Now, I don’t know if I’m just a sucker for corny dad jokes or not, but guys, keep telling those dad jokes proudly, and I promise one day a girl will eat that stuff right up.

For some extra laughs, some more dad jokes!

What time did the man go to the dentist? Tooth hurt-y.

What Beethoven’s favorite fruit? A ba-na-na-na.

Does beer make you smarter? It made Bud Wiser!

A three-legged dog walks into a bar and says, I am looking for the guy who shot my PAW.

There was a kidnapping at school today! But don’t worry; it’s okay now, because he woke up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
