Quick bump: Funny because it's true
The correct reaction to a good dad joke is not to laugh, but to groan. And this might be the best dad joke you'll hear this year.
The federal government is now in the business of dad jokes. Seriously. Check out the new federal database of dad jokes.
This database is thanks to the National Responsible Father Clearinghouse (NRFC). Their goal is "to provide, facilitate, and disseminate current research and proven and innovative strategies that will encourage and strengthen fathers".
Here's the punchline: this boondoggle is funded by legislation intended to reduce spending. NRFC states: "Funding for the NRFC is provided through the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005". Now there's a joke worth a groan.
