West Texans Share Their Favorite Dad Jokes For Father’s Day
Father's Day is less than two weeks away, and that means it's officially dad joke season.
Truth be told, dad jokes have probably been around as long as dads have been around. Long before smartphones, social media, and text messages, fathers were making their kids groan with corny one-liners and bad puns.
I've always enjoyed a good dad joke, especially the ones that fit my own life.
One of my favorites is:
- "What did the digital clock say to the grandfather clock?" - "Look, Grandpa, no hands!"
That joke has always made me laugh because I was born with one arm.
A Lifetime Of One-Armed Dad Jokes
Over the years, I've probably told more one-arm jokes than I can count.
When someone says, "Rudy, that's a great idea. I've got to hand it to you," my response is always the same:
- "Left one, please."
When I'm emceeing an event, and somebody says, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's give Rudy Fearless Fernandez a hand," I grab the microphone and quickly reply:
- "Left one, please. Left hand only."
The laughs usually come quickly, followed by a few groans. That's when you know you've told a true dad joke.
