    Every day is Father's Day (or Laughter Day with Dad) with these funny punny dad jokes. 
      
    Even though they often make you cringe, you really can't help but smile at your dad's ridiculous attempts to make you laugh, because you know that each corny joke is shared with love, and no one on earth can deliver them to you quite like him. 
      
    They're funny because they're so corny and you're not even sure whether to laugh or grimace. But what really sells them is a dad's delivery. 
      
    The way they smile a little too wide when they set up the joke: "What do you call a cow with two legs?" You already know what's coming, but your dad's face is filled with so much childish joy, you just have to brace yourself. "Lean beef. And if the cow has no legs, then it's ground beef," he says, and bursts into thunderous laughter before you can even react. 
      
    His enjoyment brings the dad joke to another level of cheesy goodness. 
      
    Our collection of the best dad jokes and corny dad jokes will have both of you chuckling to yourselves. 
      
    So make sure to get them for your dad. 
      
    We promise it'll make you both very glad. 
      
    And it'll make up for all the times he told you that you can make holy water by boiling the hell out of it.

    Defeat chaos with this supportive guide to household organization from a pair of reformed slobs.   Pam Young and Peggy Jones—aka the Slob Sisters—used to find basic housekeeping a complex concept akin to quantum physics. Chaos (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome) reigned over their homes and their lives—until one day, they made a vow to reform.   Armed with 3x5 index cards, a battle plan, and grim determination, they found a way to get their act together. In this empathetic, lighthearted guide, they share a program that even the worst slobs can master—a plan that allows for some much-needed breathing room in your space and in your schedule.   “Maintaining that most organization manuals are written by the naturally efficient who can’t empathize with the born slob, Young and Jones tell their own stories of the overwhelming messes their households had become and of their recovery…Their methods are simple and easy to follow.” —Library Journal
