Driving past a cemetery my dad always did the fence joke and always asked
Dad: "do you know how many dead people are in the cemetery?"
Me: "No"
Dad: "all of them"
As I get older I am really bad about lame dad jokes. We were on a vacation last year with extended family - 10 or so people were eating breakfast. My mother in law left bread in the toaster too long - I told her I couldn't eat it because I was "black toast intolerant". I was so pleased with myself for such a clever line but everyone groaned and looked at me like I had taken a dump on the table. I guess that is the reaction you are going for with a good dad joke.
This was kinda a spur of the moment/on the spot dad joke that was unintentional, but today we were on our way to Canton. We past a field that had some large full grown long horn cattle in it with really big horns. I said "hey look at the long horns." In the next field they had younger long horn cattle with smaller horns. I said "hey look at the not so long horns." I thought it was funny, but no one else did.
