Dad JokesWe want to know the lame jokes your Dad makes. E.g. On your mum putting the roast on the table, "All for me? What are you going to eat?" On writing you a cheque for £350, "Three pound fifty? That's cheap." - What are the frankly rubbish gags your dad cracks again and again? WARNING: If you become a dad you'll be doing this stuff too.

Not so much a jokerMy old man was never very good on an emotional level. One particular moment stands out vividly. My stepmother's brother-in-law (complex I know but bear with me) had killed himself with a shotgun. The old man at the time ran a pub and when one of the locals came in that night he was confronted with: "If you're thinking of sending Alan a Christmas card, don't bother, he's topped himself."
I didn't know where to look. With hindsight there is some black humour in this but he was just trying to break the news.
I also remember him telling me I was 'about as much use as a barbed wire johnny.'
I was 8 at the time.
