Kevin “Corny” McAllister has taken dad jokes to a whole new level, officially earning a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for delivering 1,256 dad jokes over his CB radio during a single 24-hour shift. However, there’s a twist to this record-breaking story: McAllister isn’t a dad himself. Instead, he insists that his truck, affectionately named “Big Bertha,” is the closest thing he has to a child, and therefore, he’s qualified to dish out endless puns, one-liners, and knock-knock jokes.
“I may not have kids, but Big Bertha needs me just as much as any kid needs their dad,” McAllister said proudly. “I fuel her up, keep her clean, and make sure she’s running smoothly. And what’s the point of being a truck dad if you can’t crack a few dad jokes?”
McAllister’s marathon of humor started as a casual attempt to pass the time during a long-haul route but quickly turned into a mission to make history. Armed with a notebook full of jokes and a relentless sense of determination, he unleashed a barrage of puns on unsuspecting fellow drivers, some of whom initially found his antics amusing.
“At first, it was kind of funny,” said fellow driver Lisa Grady. “I mean, who doesn’t like a good knock-knock joke now and then? But after a few hours, it felt like we were trapped in some kind of comedy purgatory.”
McAllister, however, remained undeterred. From classic one-liners like, “Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts,” to trucking-themed zingers such as, “Why did the truck refuse to haul the piano? Because it couldn’t handle the keys,” he was unstoppable.
But not everyone on the road was laughing. “By the 200th knock-knock joke, I was ready to throw my radio out the window,” said one anonymous driver. “And it didn’t stop there. He went on about traffic lights having relationship issues because they couldn’t stop arguing, and I just couldn’t take it anymore.”
The record-breaking feat wasn’t without controversy. A small group of drivers filed complaints with the CB community, arguing that McAllister’s relentless joking caused distractions. “There’s only so much a person can take before you start questioning the meaning of life,” said one frustrated driver. “I wasn’t sure if I was laughing or crying by the end of it.”
Despite the mixed reactions, McAllister is unapologetic. “They’re just jealous of my wit,” he said with a grin. “I’ve got jokes for days, and Big Bertha loves them. She purrs like a kitten every time I say, ‘I’m not speeding; I’m qualifying for NASCAR.’”
McAllister’s deep bond with his truck has become a source of fascination. He talks about Big Bertha as if she were a real family member. “She’s been with me through thick and thin,” he said. “When I’m on the road, she’s my companion. When I tell a dad joke, it’s like she’s rolling her eyes at me, just like a teenager would. I swear, I hear her engine groan sometimes.”
Guinness World Records officials verified McAllister’s record after reviewing hours of CB radio transmissions. “It’s a unique achievement,” said a Guinness representative. “We’ve had records for the longest time spent driving, the heaviest load hauled, but never one for dad jokes. It’s… well, it’s something.”
Since his record-breaking performance, McAllister has gained a small cult following among trucking enthusiasts, some of whom are eager to learn the secrets of his humor. Others, however, remain skeptical of his self-proclaimed “dad of the truck” status.
“He’s not even a dad,” one critic said. “How can you call it a dad joke if you don’t have kids? At best, those are ‘truck dad’ jokes, and that’s a whole different category.”
McAllister brushes off the criticism. “Look, being a trucker is like being a parent. You’ve got to be responsible, you’ve got to be patient, and sometimes, you’ve got to have a sense of humor to get through the day. I just happen to take that last part very seriously.”
For now, McAllister is basking in his newfound fame and planning his next big challenge. “Maybe I’ll set the record for the world’s longest convoy of dad jokes,” he said. “Or maybe I’ll just keep making Big Bertha proud. Either way, the road’s the limit.”
Love him or hate him, one thing is certain: Kevin “Corny” McAllister has cemented his place in trucking history – and the dad joke hall of fame.
