A brick.

If this one already made an appearance on here, I'm sorry. Just got reminded of it while thinking about idioms for hefty books, in english I couldn't find any. In my first language we would say "it's a brick"

Alt version of this joke:

What's red and good for a cop's teeth?Correct! A brick!

What's blue and bad for your teeth?

AnswerA really, really fast brick!

ExplanationThe Doppler shift for fast moving objects moving towards the observer makes them appear blue due to the shortening light wavelength.

    That is an anti-joke, not a dad joke. But it is funny and tangential. I tell it frequently. Another:

    What's blue and tastes like red paint?

    Blue paint.
