Last week, we challenged our readers to share their best Dad jokes for Father’s Day. Here are the most cringe-worthy picks:

Corniest Cowtown joke:
How did the cowboy become so rich?
His horse gave him a couple of bucks every day.

We begrudgingly chuckled:
How did the butcher introduce his wife?
Meat Patty

Yeah, once was enough, thanks:
What do you call an alligator in a vest?

The Wrap

From the editor

Chicken Salad Chick, a fast-casual restaurant serving — you guessed it — chicken salad, is opening a second Tarrant County location tomorrow. The restaurant is set to open at 10:30 a.m. at 2101 E. Southlake Blvd. in Southlake and the first 100 customers will get free chicken salad options throughout the year.

Fun fact: Chicken Salad Chick started in Auburn, Alabama, where I went to college. While I have tried just about the entire menu, my go-to order is Classic Carol on a croissant with lettuce and tomato + a side of grape salad. War Eagle.
