PIC: People are raving about the ultimate Dad joke that’s just gone viral

Depending on your sense of humour, you’ll either let out a big laugh or a big sigh.

They’re called ‘Dad jokes’ but you don’t have to be a father to recognise the type of gags that fall under that category.

Usually, they contain a line so obvious that most people don’t bother telling them and if they elicit a laugh, it’s normally a very brief one before angry, annoyed looks are cast in your direction.

Twitter user @enterjeshikari posted a screengrab of a message sent to her by her father on Tuesday and, just over a day later, it’s been retweeted just under 7,000 times and caused Jess to be trending in London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester and Sheffield.

All for this…

Perhaps surprisingly, the response was mostly positive…
