Joke of the month
Dad jokes
I'm so upset—my barber said he can't cut my hair any longer. He can only cut it shorter.
I was going to tell a joke about the layoffs, but sadly none of them work.
Why did the employee at the calendar company get fired? He took a day off.
I'd love to have kids one day. But that's as long as I can handle them.
I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I thought it would be rude to interrupt her.
The other day I bought a thesaurus, but when I got home and opened it, all the pages were blank. I have no word to describe how angry I am.
