Giuseppe Crispi Puns

UPDATED 2022-01-11 - I'll try to update once a month.

/u/macewinnoob (the real MVP) built this list originally at the link below. My fam asked me to get them a similar list so I used the previous post and organized it differently and tried to update it. Result is below. Enjoy.

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!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

They were cooked in Greece.

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 😂

This is a follow-up to my earlier post here about how Maurizio Gucci - played by Adam Driver in The House of Gucci - sold the Gucci coat-of-arms, and about the royalist/monarchist leanings of the Gucci family as a whole.

When researching why the Gucci family - and, in particular, patriarch Guccio Gucci, grandfather of Maurizio Gucci - were so royalist/monarchist in their sympathies, I also came across a big, unanswered question from the book: "How and why did Guccio Gucci found the Gucci brand and company to begin with?"

Unfortunately, little-if-anything is known about the early life - and motivations - of Guccio Gucci, Maurizio's grandfather. This has led even the Gucci family themselves to debate, speculate, and argue over Guccio's exact origins, with the men - headed by Aldo Gucci, Guccio's son - in one camp; and the women - headed by Grimalda Gucci, Guccio's daughter - in the other.

Aldo, who became Guccio's primary heir after the patriarch's death, put forth a narrative that Guccio was of noble descent, with his ancestor being Giacinto Gucci, a member of the Florentine nobility. However, Grimalda Gucci - Aldo's sister - disputed this, saying that Guccio Gucci came from poor parents, and a more humble background.

This family dispute, too, is documented in Sara Gay Forden's book, The House of Gucci. In this post, I wanted to delve into Italian history, as well as which Gucci family member - Aldo, or Grimalda - was more correct.

We do know a few key details about Guccio Gucci. He was a big family man; that he worked for several companies across different-but-related business industries, including the Savoy Hotel (hospitality/hotelier); Compagnie des Wagons-Lits (railroads/trains); and Franzi (upscale handbags and luggage); and, as explored in my earlier linked post, he especially catered to an upscale, noble, and even royal clientele.

Part I: Italian Unification, Unrest, and Exodus

We also know that Guccio Gucci was born in Florence, Tuscany on 26 March 1881, during the reign of King Umberto I, of the House of Savoy, in the unified Kingdom of Italy. Guccio was the son of Tuscan parents: Gabriello Gucci, a leather craftsman from San Miniato - about a 1-hour drive from Florenc

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

BamBOO!

A play on words.

Pilot on me!!

Christopher Walken

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
