3.6 Perfecting the telling of a Dad joke

To perfect the art of telling Dad jokes:

Commit some Dad jokes to memory (see Sect. 4 as a starter). In general, knowing more jokes is better (Fig. 3.3).
Stand in front of a mirror.
Say each joke in a clear, loud voice.
Try to keep a straight face, but maintain a twinkle in the eye.
Proceed one joke at a time.
When one joke has been mastered, only then should you proceed to the next joke.

With only a few hours of practice each day, soon you will be a master of the Dad joke!
