+> A dad joke is a small machine. Setup, hinge, drop. The setup loads a word with one meaning; the punchline catches it doing another job entirely. Today's six all run on the same trick — the velcro that's a rip-off, the step ladder you never knew, the paranormal jeans, the beaver who was nice gnawing you, the surgeon who said *knock yourself out*, the arthritis that hurts pi out of ten. Strict economy, no flourish, the audience does half the work.
