Happy April Fool’s Day!! I’ve never been much for practical jokes and pranks but I do love a holiday… even if it’s not your typical traditional holiday. One thing that I’ve noticed with practical jokes on April Fool’s day is that they bring a lot of laughter to those involved and those watching from the outside. So although I’m not super creative in coming up with pranks, I do love me a good old fashioned joke. And the more “dad joke” quality they have… the funnier I tend to find them.


In honor of April Fool’s Day, I thought I would share a few of my favorite jokes from days of yore and some that have recently tickled my funny bone.

What did the pirate name his son? Arrrrchie.


Why do vampires love the south? Because of all the red necks.


What’s brown and sticky? A stick.


When I was a kid, my dog was so smart that one day he was sitting on a piece of sandpaper and when I asked him how it was, he said “ruff ruff”!
