Funny Business - August 22, 2025

This joke really hits home for me... because, okay, so I was trying to write a meta dad joke, right? Like, a joke about dad jokes. And it was HARD. I mean, harder than explaining cryptocurrency to my grandpa, and that's saying something.

I was sitting here, staring at the screen, thinking, "What's the pinnacle of dad joke absurdity?" And then it hit me: the fact that they’re almost always completely predictable. You know, the kind where you see the punchline coming from a mile away, like a minivan full of screaming kids on a summer road trip.

So, here's the "joke":

Why did the scarecrow win an award?

...Because he was outstanding in his field!

Okay, okay, hear me out! The meta part is… I knew you knew the punchline before I even finished setting it up. That's the joke! The predictability is the joke. It's like... self-aware dad joke humor. Or something. 🤷‍♀️

I don't know, maybe it's not that funny. I've been staring at this screen for too long. My brain is fried. I probably need coffee. Or a nap. Or maybe both.

But the real kicker is, my own dad would probably think this is hilarious, not because it's actually funny, but because he'd be proud I'm attempting dad-level humor. Which, honestly, is kinda sweet. He'd probably tell it to all his friends at the golf course, too. Ugh.

Anyway, yeah, meta-dad-joke-about-the-predictability-of-dad-jokes. Nailed it? 😅 Probably not. But hey, I tried! And I'm pretty sure I just gave myself a headache. This is definitely going in my favorites!
