I'm writing a "Dad Joke" book...
... but it's not a book of jokes - it's a guide about the craft of forming a dad joke and delivering with the precision of a true pun-slinger. The best part? You don't even have to be a dad to master it!
(Full disclosure: The main reason I'm writing this is so I can say, "I literally wrote the book on dad jokes," and my kids can roll their eyes even harder.)
The book is still in the works, but your interest has got me thinking: Why not include some tips, anecdotes, or nuggets of wisdom from fellow dad joke aficionados like you? Whether you're a seasoned dad joke wielder or a newbie with a flair for puns, your input could help others on their journey!

By submitting my suggestion, story, or humorous nugget of wisdom, I understand that I’m helping Josh Alves on his noble quest to literally write the book on dad jokes. I happily grant Josh Alves permission to use my submission (in full or in part) in this dad joke guide book and any related projects—print, digital, or otherwise. I acknowledge that my reward is the glory of participation, as no compensation will be given (unless you count eternal dad joke fame).
I certify that this submission is my original work (as far as I know, this might be something my grandfather told my dad) and that I hold the rights to share it. I also grant Josh Alves permission to use my name or initials for attribution in the book. If I wish to remain mysterious, I will let them know by indicating that I prefer to be anonymous.
I understand that Josh Alves reserves the right to edit my submission for length, clarity, or to remove any bits that might make Grandma blush—without changing the essence of my comedic genius.
Great minds think alike! I also acknowledge that my submission might be similar to something Josh Alves or another contributor has already thought of (we all ride the same dad joke thought-train from time to time). In such cases, I won’t be specifically credited, but I’ll still know I’m part of the dad joke universe.
