Dad Jokes Application.

Description:

A Dad Jokes Application is a software tool or mobile app designed to provide users with a collection of humorous "dad jokes." These jokes are typically short, corny, and light-hearted in nature, often involving puns or wordplay. The app aims to entertain users with the kind of jokes usually associated with fathers trying (and often failing) to be funny in a wholesome way. The app can be used to generate a random joke, display a joke of the day, or allow users to browse through a list of jokes.
