Dad Jokes? I Think You Mean Rad Jokes, by Elias Hill

Listen carefully and you can hear the groans and shouts of "Daaaaaad!" coming from Elias Hill's house.  I imagine Hill's three kids in their role as official dad joke testers, and either loving it or hating it.  His jokes just keep on coming.  The author of a dozen or more joke books, his latest, Dad Jokes? I Think You Mean Rad Jokes, is full of the corny, groan-worthy jokes that his kids, surely, are tired of hearing.

Speaking as a dad, I am grateful for a source of really excellent jokes, riddles and puns to add to my own limited arsenal of dad jokes.  Hill's jokes are original and funny.  They're illustrated by Katherine Hogan in the same style as Hill's other books, in a Q and A format with black-and-white drawings of the speaker.  Here's a sampling of the jokes:

• What do you call an ape that likes to touch people?  Chimp-handsy.

• Would snails move faster if they just took off their shells?  No, it would just make them more sluggish.

• Our can opener is broken.  Please refer to it now as the can't opener.

Dads, brush up on your dad joke skills, with Hill's help!
