My Dad Thinks He's a Pirate

Why are Dad’s pirate jokes funny? Because they arrr in this pun-filled, giggle-worthy tribute to the paternal comedians among us.

Captain Dad and his crew are having a day at the ocean, and of course Dad is bringing his treasure chest of jokes. Aye-aye, you say? Just one eye, Dad corrects, pointing to his patch. Why does he like to eat on the beach? Because of the sand-which-is there, he explains. Whether it’s a ship he bought on sail or an earring that costs one buccaneer, a day with Dad is shore to be hilarious. At least he seems to think so!When buried treasure appears, the text momentarily turns sentimental before quickly reviving its overall tone of lighthearted silliness. . . Yo-ho-ho! A hilarious read for jokesters and lovers of all things pirate.
