A good joke can make you laugh, make you think, or sometimes even make you roll your eyes — after all, who doesn’t love a good dad joke or a punny one-liner? But the one thing every fall joke has in common is that it’s going to make you smile. So, take a break from worrying about which Thanksgiving tradition you’ll honor this year, push pause on all those kid-friendly Halloween movies you have queued up on Netflix, and take a few moments to tell your family and friends some of these fall-themed knee slappers. It doesn’t matter if they find them corny, or if they think your humor is unbe-leaf-able, as long as they make everyone happy!
