Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes Raise Spirits in Maryland

Description (Dublin Core)

This is a heartwarming article about daughter who noticed her father was becoming despondant due to the COVID quarantine. She had given him a book called Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes for Christmas, so she dug it out and they got the idea to post one joke a day on a whiteboard in their front yard. Soon people made special trips to read the daily humor. The dad felt a new sense of purpose and he was very happy to brighten other people's days.
