Send us you best ‘dad jokes’ to keep Abigail smiling

Send us you best ‘dad jokes’ to keep Abigail smiling

FAMILY: Abigail Ford with parents Helen and Ben and sister Isabelle watched the colourful fun from a distance. Abigail is fond of cheesy 'dad jokes' so we're appealing for people to send them in and we'll print a selection on the letters page

LAUGHTER they say is the best medicine and for one plucky eight-year-old “dad” jokes are proving just the right tonic to keep a smile on her face.
Abigail Ford, from Barnard Castle, who was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma in May, enjoys nothing more than hearing some of the most groan-worthy, pun-laden, so-bad-they-are-hilarious jokes – the kind you find in a Christmas cracker or that dads seem to tell.
Mum Helen said: “She is in fits of laughter with them and we can’t get our head around it. Her school friends made her a card and it was filled with dad jokes and she loved it. She can’t get enough of them.”
When the Teesdale Mercury heard of Abigail’s love of lame jokes, we wanted to make sure she has a plentiful supply to keep a smile on her face.
So, we’re asking all readers to share their best “dad” jokes with us and we will to ensure Abigail can get her fill of jokes the Teesdale Mercury we will print a selection of them.
The Mercury has one chemistry joke – but we don’t think it’ll get a reaction.
Email your best dad jokes to [email protected] with the subject “Jokes for Abigail” .
