Dad Jokes

Each ticket unique. Each joke terrible.

Each AsherCon ticket had its own unique Dad Joke. It was thought they could act as ice breakers, but most people just rooted through the stacks until one made them guffaw and took that one.

I thought a lot about what the difference is between a “Dad Joke” and a “Regular Joke,” and I think it happens when it becomes apparent. :hahaha:
