Oh and the bit you really care about
The Dad Joke
Running Doe, a young Native American woman went to a doctor for her first ever physical exam. After checking all of her vitals and running the usual tests, the doctor said, "Well, Running Doe, you are in fine health. I could
find no problems. I did notice one abnormality however."
"Oh, what is that, Doctor?"
"Well, you have no nipples."
"None of the people in my tribe have nipples," she replied.
"That is amazing," said the doctor. "I'd like to write this up for Journal of Medicine if you don't mind."
She said, "OK."
"First of all" asked the doctor, "how many people are in your tribe?''
She answered, "Approximately 500."
"And what is the name of your tribe?" asked the doctor.
Running Doe replied, "We're called "...The Indiannippeless Five Hundred."

Aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!
It's a good joke isn't it. It hurts, yet it is strangly satisfying.
That is truly terrible. I'm not sure if it's a dad joke of extraordinary quality, or just a really bad joke. It's a very difficult thing to determine.
I'm just glad John's profile pic finally looks just like him.
Oh yeah and the joke was shite.
I am curious however, in reference to the Webbys bit, how does one become a luminary?
Set yourself on fire?
I suppose that would work. Perhaps you just need an inner glow. Like a pregnant woman, or a microwaved guinea pig.
I'm surprised John that for this week's nerdy post you ignored the "Alcohol fuelled Muscles" story on Slashdot a couple of days ago.
Slashdot?!! That sounds like it deserves a Thursday post all of its own...
Great Dad Joke....you really understand the essence of Dadness don't you John!
Also love your dedication to your column!
Slashdot is the cornerstone to a nerds true power... and my homepage ;) http://slashdot.org/
