I FINALLY CRACKED HOW RICK RIORDAN MAKES HIS FUNNY JOKES!!!!
Starting with the ‘dam’ jokes in the third Percy Jackson book: Titan’s Curse. Mark Griswald and his family go on a tour for HOOVER DAM(where the jokes take place) and the pun ‘Dam’ is used several times in the scene.
Then, Lester Papadopoulos from his other series Trials of Apollo. His last name is suspiciously close to to the fake name Mark Griswald’s son, Rusty, made so he could be marked an adult and gambled (it was Pappagiorgio)
PLEASE COMMENT
