I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
I've been seeing this question a lot recently, and I thought I'd answer it: "Are Sylhetis Bengali?"Sylhetis being Bengali depends on who you ask. Bengali is a language that arose in the 9-10th centuries when Magadhi Pankrit diverged into modern-day Bengali-Assamese, Maithili/Bihari, and Orissa (skipped a lot of intermediate transitions). Bengalis weren't a fully defined identity until the Bengal sultanate in the early 1300s, which was more socio-religious and united many Muslims of different ethnic backgrounds (who tended to be upper-caste Hindus that converted to Islam). However, this caused pushback from many groups including tribal kingdoms (like the Koch-Rajbangshis, Tripuris, and Khasi/Jaintas). Under the Bengal Sultanate, there was actually a conversion of some Rajbanshis from Hinduism/Buddhism to Islam but many rejected identifying as Bengalis (around 300 years later under the Mughals these Muslims were known as the Nashya Sheikh sub-clan of the Rajbangshis). Sylhet historically has been part of tribal kingdoms that belonged to the Khasi/Jainta tribes of Meghalaya. After the fall of the Kamarupa Empire, Meghalaya, Rangpur, Sylhet, parts of Assam and northern West Bengal (Darjeeling/Cooch Behar) got divided into smaller "petty" kingdoms like the Koch Hajo/ Koch Bihar, Jainta (and then Gour/Dimisa Kachari) Kingdoms, and Laur Kingdom. During the rule of the Jainta from around 630-1100, the natives of the southern region of the Jainta Kingdom were known as the plains people and were called the Dkhar (this was a generic term that applied to the Rajbangshis, modern-day Sylhetis, and some other groups). The Khasi/Jainta and other hill tribes were known as the "Hills People". In fact, if you ever met a Khasi or Jainta person with the last name Dkhar it means that have mixed Plains-people (either Rajbanshi or modern-day Sylheti) and Khasi lineage. If you noticed I kept using "modern-day Sylheti" so far, this is because in the 700s it was unclear what the people of the Southern Plains (who weren't Rajbangshi) called themselves. These people were (like the Khasis) early Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burmese settlers that mixed with early Dravidians. Many of the Khasis referred to these people as "Shelia Haat" meaning "people of Shelia" in reference to the fact that many of these Dkhars lived in the Shelia district of southern modern-day Meghalaya (borders Sylhet). "Shelia Haat" later became "Sylhoti" (which is what the Sylhetis call themselves in their language) a
