Here's one of my A1 certified Dad Jokes:
So, three guys are driving down the road, a Mechanical Engineer, an Electrical Engineer and a Computer Programmer.
Suddenly, their car stalled.
They manage to get to the side of the road to figure out what's wrong with the car.
The Mechanical Engineer says; "the Timing-Belt is out of adjustment and we are not generating enough torque to keep the car running, causing it to stall."
The Electrical Engineer says; "No, it's the Alternator. Obviously it's not returning enough power to the battery to keep the car running, causing it to stall."
The Computer Programmer thinks for a minute and say; "Man, you guys are both wrong...all we have to do is get out of the car and then get back in and we'll be good to go"

"Now, wait just a second, fellas. Those 3 guys are local firefighters who saved the clubhouse from burning to the ground last Spring. They went blind during the fire, so we let them play for free, We ask your patience. You can pass them at the turn.
Upon hearing this, the doctor pipes up...."Oh! I am so sorry. I had no idea! I have several friends that are top notch Ophthalmologists. I'll get in touch with them and see if there is anything they can do.
The lawyer says..."Oh my! I am so sorry! I'll get the members of my Bar association to set up a fund for these guys. No one should have to suffer like this after such heroics."
The engineer says....
"Why can't they just play at night?"

It's my favorite joke, because I have a son who is essentially an engineer (currently getting his PhD in astronomy) and when I told him that joke several years ago he simply looked puzzled. Clearly he thought that it made most sense for them to play at night.

(2,237 posts)A lovely afternoon finds one fellow and his wife golfing. They have had a wonderful time and the man has had a near perfect game. The final hole, by far the most difficult, wraps around an old barn. With a terrible slice the man puts the barn between his ball and the green.
Knowing that the strokes that it will take to get around the barn will destroy his score, he begins to rant and rave. His wife hating to see him ruin such a great afternoon makes a suggestion. "What if I were to hold open the barn doors? That way you could send it right through the barn onto the green." He thinks this over and decides that it will work. With his wife holding open the barn door he lines up with the hole and gives the ball a terrific "whack"! The ball shoots through the air and right into the head of his wife, killing her instantly.
Months go by, the man mourning all the while. His friends, hating to see him in such a state, convince him to go golfing with them. They end up at the same course and on the final hole, oddly enough, another terrible slice puts the old barn between his ball and the green.
Again he begins to rant and rave at what this dilemma will do to his score. He friend, wanting to please him, makes a suggestion. "What if I were to hold open the barn doors? That way you could send it right through the barn onto the green."
"No," the man replies, "last time I did that I got two over par."

John quickly runs to the base of the cross to hear what the Lord has to say, "yes, my Lord! I'm here!"
But he can only hear Jesus cry out his name. He finds a ladder and climbs it anxiously anticipating some pearl of wisdom. He reaches Jesus and puts his ear against Jesus' mouth to hear His words, "Yes, my Lord! What do you have to tell me?"
John waits in anticipation as Jesus licks his dry lips and takes a deep breath to speak, "John! I can see your house from here!"

Arrive at destination
During their stay they bag 6 moose. They call for the plane t return home with their prizes
Pilot sees the moose and tells them, "The plane can only carry xxx number of pounds. You can only bring back 4 moose".
Rednecks complain,
"The last time we did this the pilot allowed us to take back 6 moose! Same darn plane as yours!"
Pilot thinks about it. Shrugs his shoulders and allows them to fill the plane.
After takeoff, flying for a bit, attempted to gain altitude to cross mountain
Cannot get high enough.
Crash!!
Rednecks survive the crash
Begin to look around
One says, "Where you reckon we are?"
The other says, "Around the same place we came down last year."

The librarian doesn't know what to think, but she hands a book to the chicken. The chicken stuffs the book under her wing and struts out the door.
A few minutes later, the same chicken comes back into the library and says to the librarian, "Book, book."
The librarian thinks this is interesting, so she gives the chicken two more books. The chicken sticks a book under each wing and struts out the door.
Half an hour later, the same chicken appears before the librarian and says, "Book, book, book."
The librarian is flabbergasted. Is this chicken reading all these books? This time, the chicken receives three books, but the librarian follows her out. The librarian wants to know what is happening to all those books.
The chicken leads her out the door, behind the library, down a grassy slope to a little stream. There is a frog sitting there next to a pile of books. The chicken deposits the three new books beside the frog. The frog opens the first book, says, "Readit, readit", and tosses it aside.
