Here’s your daily dose of Dad jokes for the week…

"You know you're broke when you're counting change for gas and still ask the cashier, 'Can I get a receipt for that 0.78 cents?'"

C’mon you got to give me credit I’m getting better at aren’t I? The only people that couldn’t enjoy a good laugh from that one must have had that hit too close to home. If that’s the case I have a solution for you to never worry about paying for gas with your loose change again.
