Lab 16: Dad Joke API

Git Setup:

> git checkout main
> git pull
> git checkout -b your-name/python/lab16

Use the Dad Joke API to get a dad joke and display it to the user. You may want to also use time.sleep to add suspense.

Part 1

Use the requests library to send an HTTP request to https://icanhazdadjoke.com/ with the accept header as application/json. This will return a dad joke in JSON format. You can then use the .json() method on the response to get a dictionary. Get the joke out of the dictionary and show it to the user.

Part 2

Add the ability to "search" for jokes using another endpoint. Create a REPL that allows one to enter a search term for dad jokes on different subjects. You can show all (up to 20) jokes at once, or use time.sleep to keep them coming at a steady pace. As a bonus, you can ask the user if they want to see the next 20 jokes.
