I've been stuck in the rut of "My Dad Still Prints Out Emails to Read Them" jokes for years, thinking it was my ticket to easy laughs. Spoiler: it wasn't. After countless bombs at open mics, here's the deal - you gotta make it relatable but unique. Share those painfully specific, real-life moments when your dad organized printed emails like top-secret documents. And remember, if your tech joke goes south, pivot fast with some self-deprecating humor. Trust me, I've been there, wondering if the mic cutting out was part of my act at The Chuckle Hut.
