The astrophysicist’s dad joke
There was an astrophysicist working at NASA who was legendary for his dad jokes. He told dumb jokes all the time, amusing and annoying his coworkers.
But eventually the dad jokes dried up, because he was too busy focused on a new invention. He believed he had discovered a theoretical device that would enable spaceships to travel through wormholes to the most distant reaches of the known universe.
For decades he worked on it. And finally, exhausted from his labors, he designed a ship that he claimed could literally travel to the very edge of the universe. He was given the honor of testing the ship. He and his copilot climbed aboard and pressed a few buttons, and they were zapped to the outermost edge of the universe.
They stared out the ship’s canopy into a dizzying black void … utter oblivion … the total absence of space and time.
“Well,” the copilot said. “We are here. You did it. You have traveled to the very boundary of creation itself. How do you feel?”
The astrophysicist shrugged and said “There’s nothing to look forward to.”
The copilot blinked. “Wait … wait a second,” he said, groaning as he looked out the canopy again. “Nothing to look forward to … was that a joke? Was that a dad joke? Oh my God. You spent decades building this ship … all this work … just so you could tell the ultimate dad joke??”
The astrophysicist nodded. Then he smiled hugely and said, “But it’s all behind me now!”
