Dads: we love them for so many reasons because they help us with so many things. Dad's help with everything from homework and sports to advice on scoring a “get out of jail free card,” and due to their valiant efforts, these class act guys carve out a cherished place in our hearts - we adore them for it.

Ok, so actually there is one reason above all other that we love dads more than we can put into words…. DAD JOKES.  Be they truly funny or painfully corny, dad jokes earn groans and giggles that we couldn't imagine getting anywhere else. Enjoy some our favorites from around the web and, even from memories of our very own dads - the good, the bad and the corny:
