In honour of Father's Day this Sunday, we wanted to show a little appreciation for something we love to hate: the iconic Dad joke.&nbsp;
It's no secret that Irish people have a great sense of humour, and the gift of the gab certainly make Irish Dads masters of this kind of joke.
We're sure you don't need any reminders, but here are some examples of the best Dad jokes the web has to offer:
How do you get a country girl’s attention? A tractor.
My wife asked me to stop singing “Wonderwall” to her. I said maybe…
I was going to tell a time-travelling joke, but you guys didn’t like it.
What kind of drink can be bitter and sweet? Reali-tea.
When does a joke become a “dad joke?” When it becomes apparent.
All fun and games aside, here's a nice take on how Dad jokes prepare kids for life:
'When Dads incessantly play with language at the dinner table or in the car on the way to school, they are helping (their kids) not only to enjoy the flexibility and springiness of our language, they are teaching them to think. They are teaching them about metaphors and about the way context shapes the meaning of words, and about putting things together in ways that make the world seem different.' - <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/fathers-day-in-praise-of-dad-jokes-20150903-gjee1r.html" target="_self">Sydney Morning Herald, 2015</a>.&nbsp;

<h5 style="text-align:center;">One more for the road... I used to hate facial hair, but then it grew on me.</h5>
So, big thank you to all the Dads out there who continue to embarrass their young (and adult) kids with the best of the bad jokes. We wouldn't have it any other way.&nbsp;
