  Bad faith jokes are not bad per se, I just don’t have a better name…

    They’re called “dad jokes”, not “bad jokes”.

    BTW here’s a bad faith joke:
    Why couldn’t the bicycle stand up by itself?
    It was two-tired… just like my faith in God.

      The period goes inside the quotation mark, Mr. Grammar.

        That’s actually something that varies from country to country.

        the American style places commas and periods inside the quotation marks, even if they are not in the original material. British style (more sensibly) places unquoted periods and commas outside the quotation marks. For all other punctuation, the British and American styles are in agreement: unless the punctuation is part of the quoted material, it goes outside the quotation marks.

      Why did the chicken cross the road?

      To get to the other side, where he was meeting his church group to tell them he would no longer be attending.

        That’s a good one. When I heard it though, he was a thespian: a bad faith actor.

    Shot through the heart and you’re to blame. Darlin’, you give jokes a bad name.
