We showed a cartoon to a dad and asked for a quick summary. What followed was a pun marathon so relentless that the rabbit would have been proud.

The Groan Scale
We rate every dad joke on a five-point groan scale, from polite exhale to full eye-roll with audible sigh.
- Level 1: a gentle nose laugh
- Level 3: the slow head shake
- Level 5: someone leaves the room
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
Charlie Chaplin
If you groaned, the joke worked. If you laughed, please seek help.
