The Get A Dad Joke Action is a composite run step custom action that tells you a dad joke. After all, who doesn't love dad jokes, right?

This action makes use of the icanhazdadjoke api to randomly retrieve a joke as a text string. The action will display the joke in the run log, and also output the joke as an output variable, that can be used by other steps.
