Introduction

This SOP describes how to generate a dad joke for team morale based on a supplied topic. If no topic is provided, the process selects an appropriate topic automatically. The result is a light‑hearted joke that is suitable for a workplace environment.

Process

1. Receive Input
   • Accept the field topic (optional). It may contain a short description of the desired subject for the joke.
2. Determine Topic
   • If topic is non‑empty, set used_topic to the provided value.
   • If topic is empty or missing, randomly select a topic from a predefined safe list (e.g., "technology", "food", "animals", "sports", "office life"). Set used_topic to the selected value.
3. Generate Joke
   • Create a dad‑style joke that:
     • References used_topic.
     • Uses a simple pun or wordplay.
     • Is appropriate for a professional setting (no profanity, offensive content, or sensitive subjects).
   • Ensure the joke is concise (one or two sentences) and ends with a light punchline.
4. Return Results
   • Output the generated joke as joke.
   • Output the topic that was used as used_topic.
