My response, "I have been unfocused today."
...That's the problem with my predictive keyboard: it's too easily lead!
A pun that will appeal to chemists and scholars of Latin. A bit niche?
Me: "it wasn't there already!?"
He said, "I don't know, dad, I'm only three!"
It was the first time I had used a pick up line to talk to a woman.
she has nunchucks
Sorry this will take a little setup. I have 2 adult kids. Son and a daughter, both are married. Both now have young children of their own. I have been a dad jokester for years..
We have a "family chat" on Facebook messenger with me, my wife, our son, daughter in law, our daughter and her husband.
Conversation just happened:
Daughter in law: Hey does anyone have a wheelbarrow we could use?
Daughter: Yep, I have one I borrowed from mom and dad you can have.
Me: too funny
Daughter: yeah we should call it a "wheel-borrow"
I just realized that I have officially passed the torch. The next generation of my family is successfully dad joke punny. Years of puns have paid off!
Yes, you've caught me I'm not actually a dad but rather a 16 year old female. This is a mess of a story so please bear with me:)
The other day I went downstairs to take my nighttime meds. When I got to the dining room, I saw my dad sitting at the island and he just looked so... sad. I've NEVER seen him like that before but he just seemed so lost and it broke me to see him like that.
My dad always puts on the tough guy act for whatever reason. I doubt he wanted anyone to see him like that so I pretended not to notice. So, I walked over and started chatting with him. We talked about school and video games for a bit until the conversation went a bit dead. However, I had the lovely idea of telling him some dad jokes because those always cheer me up:)
Here are a few of the jokes I told (yes, I did steal them from here haha):
What did the lawyer wear to court?
A lawsuit
-----------
What do you call a romantic vampire?
A necromancer
-----------
Why didn't 4 ask out 5?
Because he was 2ยฒ
----------
I told more but I don't remember them off the top of my head.
Those jokes did spark conversation and it made me realize how much I missed having chats with my dad.
After about an hour and a half, I unfortunately had to go to bed as I had school in the morning.
However, since then my dad and I have been regularly having chats:)
One weekend, my son, 21 at the time was spot on with dad jokes/comments all weekend. Sunday after church I was cleaning up lunch dishes and his mother was folding laundry. He made a perfect joke and instead of laughing I asked "Is Holly (his girlfriend) pregnant?" He and his mom both stopped dead in their tracks and simultaneously said "What?!?!?!". I said that his jokes were so on point something had to be going on... We all laughed.
Fast forward two days later. I took my son and his girlfriend to lunch. We ordered and while we were waiting, my son says "You know all of those dad jokes I have been making?" Me "Yeah, why?" Him "Well, I'm gonna be a dad!" Holly punched him in the arm and said "I can't believe you told him like that!"
There was a conversation about money and sleepless nights and what next, but we will support you any way we can. After our conversation my son asked if I would tell his mom since she works with Holly's dad and her parents found out earlier that day. Heck NO I won't tell your mother!!
TL;DR My son made dad jokes. I asked if his girlfriend was pregnant. She was.
My daughter is 14 and has been asking for a nose ring for a while now. She thinks she will wear me down but she is wrong (this time). She was out shopping with my wife today... this is how our conversation went.
Daughter: Dad, what if your christmas present was to just let me get my nose pierced with a tiny cute lil" sparkle??!!
Me: No. You have plenty of holes in your ears ( 3 each ๐, not my idea ) Buy a nose ring and put it in your ear hole if you need to. We'll call it a "near" ring. ๐
Daughter: U R Not funny.
Me: Kinda funny? ๐
Daughter: No.
In summary: I was/am so proud of myself that I thought I would share. ๐คฃ๐คฃ Hope you enjoy!
The full story:
โWhile suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to politics and then they discussed some new guy who was far too big for his shoes as a politician.
The old rancher said, โWell, ya know, he is a post turtleโ. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a โpost turtleโ was.
The old rancher said, โWhen youโre driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, thatโs a โpost turtleโ.
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctorโs face, so he continued to explain. โYou know he didnโt get up there by himself, he doesnโt belong up there, he doesnโt know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there in the first place.โ โ
Pig plays the drums, Horse sings, and Cow plays the guitar. Theyโre all exceptionally talented, and form a band, supplementing other spots from around the city. They play local dives, some free shows in the park, and they begin to get some traction. Pig suggests they record an album, and they send demos all over. One label is willing to give them a shot, and they open for a B List name on their tour. During the tour, they amass millions of fans, and by the time they record their first major studio album, they have a following so big that 3 of their songs top the charts. They soon find themselves headlining their own tour, as well as every major music festival.
The three friends are over the moon with their success. Never in their wildest dreams did they believe theyโd find themselves rubbing shoulders with music greats. It doesnโt come without its downsides, though. Pig has turned to coke and pills to help him get through the long nights. Horse loves the party side of his new life, and his band mates often hide bottles from him when theyโre not dragging him, drunk, to his bed. Cow is sad. Watching his friends fall apart, he misses being home and when things were more simple. Keeping his friends in line and covering for them is taking a toll on his own health.
After a year and a half on the road, the band is in the studio attempting to record their second album. Horse is fast asleep, drooling on the mixing board, hungover from the night before. Pig hasnโt even shown up. Cow has a breakdown, and shakes Horse awake. โIโm done. I canโt do this anymore.โ Horse waves him off, and falls back asleep. Cow packs up his guitar and buys a one-way ticket home.
A few days later, Pig is all over the news. Heโs in jail for possession. Cow watches the news and shakes his head. He knew it was a sinking ship. Horse hears the news from their manager, who is also calling to tell him that he quit. He wakes up to the phone call, and texts Cow, pleading to have a conversation. Radio silence. Horse stumbles out of bed and heads for his favorite pub. He canโt believe that heโs down two friends, that the band has split up, and his life is in shambles. He sits at the bar. โIโll have my usual,โ he says. The bartender leans over to hand Horse a whiskey. โHey buddy, why the long face?โ
Some twenty years ago, I was in an airport with my parents and siblings. After waiting at the gate for our flight for maybe 30 minutes, the following conversation took place.
Mom: are you ok?
Me: Iโm getting a headache. Maybe from that high pitched whistling sound.
Brother: what whistling sound?
Me: canโt you hear it? Itโs driving me crazy.
Brother: maybe you have canine hearing. Maybe itโs a dog whistle.
Dad: dogs canโt whistle!
(Not yet a dad) So my wife was just FaceTiming with her mom who is working her way through Greyโs Anatomy at our recommendation. I came in at this part of the conversationโฆ
Them: โUgh, Arizona is the worst!โ
Me: โYeah, and she really started leaning to the left after a while tooโ
Them: <judgmental stares> What do you mean??
Me: You know, after she lost her foot?
Double facepalm, success.
Me: Who are you talking about?
Dad: My butt cheeks!
An actual conversation I just had with my dad in which I did face palm and yelled "Son of a bitch!"
Grape. Grape who?
Gray poo?! You might want to get that checked out!
This one just popped into my head in casual conversation a moment ago and I got the dad joke reaction from everybody! Just wanted to share it with all of you.
A man is working in the shoe factory, talking with his supervisor from across the line. As he works on the incomplete shoe, he strikes up a conversation with his boss. "Anything new in your world Bob?" he asks. "Yeah, actually! I just finished my degree and am starting a 2nd job as a therapist!", he responds. The man, moving on to the bottom of the shoe is shocked. "Wow, that's great! You know, I've actually been having trouble getting over Jess-" he starts, before Bob interrupts "Let it go man. It's time to heel".
My soon to be wife was changing batteries in a Christmas decoration. She handed me the old batteries and the conversation went:
Her: These need to be charged.
Me: With what?
Me: Battery.
One of the main driving factors in this decision was, in the event of someone saying anything along the lines of โwait, you play violin?โ I would be able to respond with โyeah I fiddle around with it.โ
I waited eight months, EIGHT. MONTHS. for someone to say to me โyou play violin?โ Then, it finally happened. It was the perfect setting: five of my coworkers were sitting around a table having drinks after work and one of them mentioned the fact that I have a violin. And there it was, the question, exactly as I had imagined it: โWait, EmergencyTaco, you play violin?โ Months of preparation had led to this and, without missing a beat, I responded โyeah, I fiddle around with it.โ
He replied โOh. Thatโs cool.โ And then the conversation shifted. Not one of them got it. I spent $600 for nothing. Nothing but crushing disappointment.

... keep reading on reddit โกI remembered a good Dad joke moment.
My wife and I had picked up our daughter and two of her friends. They were in the back of our minivan.
My wife inquired about one of the kids mothers that she was friends with since we hadn't seen them in a while. They moved because of work to another town.
I guess the job was going well and they were making a good deal of money. The kid said, "She doing good, but she's spending a lot of money. She remodeled the kitchen and bought 4K TVs."
They kept chatting lightly and when there was a lull in conversation, I quietly said, "That's a lot of TVs." Just loud enough for everyone to hear but not loud enough to really demand anyone listen.
But then it happened. An uncomfortable pause - the fabled pregnant pause - and they started talking again. No one said anything about it but I knew it landed.
After we dropped the kids off, the first thing my daughter said, "That was SO bad. "
This was at LEAST 10 minutes after I said it. She had been thinking about that joke the whole time. She said the other kids were like looking around like WTF?
Iโm sleeping with the bartenderโs wife. Can you hold him in the pub for an hour after he closes up?โ Paddy was not very fond of the idea, but being Patrick was a lifelong friend, he reluctantly agreed. After the pub closed, Paddy struck up a conversation with the bartender asking him all sorts of stupid questions in an effort to keep him occupied. After some time, the bartender became suspicious and asked, โPaddy, what are you really up to with all this?โ Paddy, filled with feelings of guilt and remorse, confessed to the bartender and said, โIโm sorryโฆ. my friend Patrick is sleeping with your wife right now and asked me to keep you occupied.โ The bartender smiled and putting a brotherly hand on Paddy`s shoulder, said "Jerk", I think youโd better hurry home, my wife died two years ago.โ
Back in the before times, when sit-down restaurants existed, I used to order boneless cheese sticks and would just throw the word "boneless" in front of any appetizer with 100% corniness. The purpose of this isn't to make a good joke. It's not a good joke. The purpose is to make my dining companions catch some cringe splash damage and want to crawl into a hole and die out of embarrassment for my being horribly corny.
But there is a real, deeper purpose that I've discovered entirely by accident. People, especially young people, are so self-conscious and worried about saying or doing something embarrassing that it taints a lot of social gatherings. They go to a restaurant and are afraid to speak up even when their order is blatantly wrong. They'll tip well even when the food took an hour to arrive and the server has disappeared into the corn stalks behind a baseball field. It takes 2 hours of hanging out together before some friends finally stop nitpicking themselves, uncomfortable in their own bodies and brains, feeling perpetually judged, and begin to relax. These are the kinds of people who go to sleep every night replaying cringey moments from high school. Their last thought of the day is when the Burger King girl said, "Enjoy your meal!" and they said, "Thanks, you too."
It takes 2 hours and/or a lot of booze before they're comfortable enough to take conversational risks and truly reveal themselves. But if I come right out of the gate with a really dumb joke, then we can cut to the chase. There's less danger because someone in the group already shot themselves in the foot, right off the bat. They pulled a pin on the cringe grenade and then jumped on it.
You cringe at my dumb joke and then we're over the hump. Someone has already done something pretty stupid, so go ahead and order the hubcap of nachos and a massive chocolate shake because nobody is going to judge you poorly while they're all judging me.
In terms of price negotiations (haggling), there is a psychological concept called "anchoring". You throw out the first number and all subsequent numbers are compared to that number. This is the same idea. We've already set the humor standard pretty low at "boneless cheese sticks", so you can say the dumbest shit you want and, as long as it's not worse than my cheesy joke, it won't matter.
This is why, when you were a teenager and your dad took you and some friends out, your dad made corny jokes. He knew they were corny jokes. You and your friends un

When I was a little kid learning about the world around me, my dad was naturally the font of all knowledge for me, He would answer all of little snippersmith's questions with his own unique insights and anecdotes teaching me of my surroundings with varying degrees of accuracy.
One day In a picture book, I encountered a photo of one of natures most bizarre creatures, the mighty duck billed platypus. Filled with curiosity of this bizarre creature and an Inability to read a young snippersmith asked his father what this creature was called, To which his father replied,
That's a Quackopotamous.....
As is a highly likely situation in day to day life the Platypus (or indeed the Quackopotamous), did not come into conversation for another 17 years, Until of course the Platypus came into conversation around the lunch table at a now grown up snippersmith's full time place of work.
I have not been allowed to forget I thought the Platypus was called a Quackopotamous, Indeed I am reminded on a daily basis by my colleagues, by my nickname Quackopotamous .
Thanks Dad.
EDIT 1: Holy Cow this took off! Gold! thank you so much.
Dave Ponder is running for senator, but he and Sharon don't have any children. They want to be seen as a typical political family at any cost, and want to adopt. They stop by an adoption agency.
Dave talks with the administrator and mentions he's in a bit of a hurry with a photo shoot scheduled for next month. Reece, one of the little boys, overhears the conversation and says he'd be happy to be adopted. That was the moment that he became....

Conversation with the daughter this morning. We are needing to go out and do some clothes shopping. Asked her if she's had breakfast, she looks at me with her phone in her hand and says "No, I've got no WiFi". "So, you need WiFi to have breakfast?".
