Interesting. I presume you were able to take up the slack and amuse the family yourself, Carolyn?

I love the dad jokes! I only wish I could be that creative. Maybe the fault is in my upbringing. My dad never told a joke of any kind, not even a dad joke. Except once. We were in Florida and he was sitting on the beach right where the water reached the land. The little waves washed lots of sand into his trunks so you can guess what happened to the sand when he stood up. So he scampered into the water with chunks of wet sand falling out of his trunks, apologizing all the way for his gaucheness.

Shucks, Bob. If Bart is the Kernel, you’re at least a Cobtain.

Yeah, Pat, but I'm the oldest guy in the unit, which is why the troops call me "Pop" Corn....

You must have a nice crib.

Was hoping Jonabard would rhyme in but he may be far afield doing Shuckspeare.
