Lofty Wiseman Puns

This aired in the UK in the 1980s. It features a TV presenter and a former SAS trooper, Lofty Wiseman.

It details the survival techniques needed to stay live in the wild. It was a huge inspiration to me.

I love learning about given names (to distinguish them from Names) and was astonished at how spot-on so many are in PGtE! As with everything EE does, I'm amazed at the attention to detail. Here's a list of many of the characters in alphabetical order. I'm sure I missed some or didn't get the full meaning of others. My favorites with meaningful names are Catherine, Masego, and Tariq.

Feel free to share names I missed or misinterpreted and I'll update!

Apologies if someone has posted something similar in the past, I just started reading PGtE a few months ago and am all caught up now! Most research is from Behindthename dot com

Edit: thanks to these folks for updates and corrections! u/carbonaraFlamejante u/genida u/xland44

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.

##Notes

The frontcourt on paper looks filled up, but the Warriors will certainly be making a couple of tweaks at least around the fringes. They could use a floor spacer and maybe an experienced veteran to supplement their group.

Kevon Looney's player option deadline is on August 1st. Although Looney had quite the renaissance this season, putting behind him an injury-plagued 19/20 campaign, it's hard to see him getting a similar starting salary on the open market and according to Woj, Looney is already planning on exercising his player option, so he will be back with the Warriors next season.

Juan Toscano-Anderson finally has a guaranteed deal and he's not going anywhere. He's carved himself out a role in the rotation and can be presumably penciled in as Draymond's understudy moving forward.

Eric Paschall is an interesting case as his status is a bit up in the air. After a 1st Team All-Rookie campaign and a strong start to this last season as a scoring small-ball 5, he was underwhelming the rest of the way capped off by an injury that would sideline him for the rest of the season. There's no doubt that Paschall is talented, but he's a bit of an odd fit on this roster as a tweener 4/5 who doesn't quite have an outside shot and isn't capable enough defensively yet. Although his contract is guaranteed for next season, it's conceivable that the Warriors might look to move him for some sort of low-level asset, if possible, in order to free up a roster spot for someone who might complement the roster a little better. But if not, it will be an important contract year for him to show some improvement and at the very least he can be a situational spark plug and scoring punch off the bench.

Alen Smailagić's contract will fully guarantee on August 6th, although in all likelihood the Warriors and his representation will agree to push that back until after Summer League or even Training Camp so he can participate in those team activities. However, outside of that, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Smailagić won't be back on the roste

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

He lost May

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Said if she ever hosts a gender reveal party, when it comes time to pop the balloon she'll spray everyone with water.

Gender is fluid.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

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!

But let me give it a shot.

And now I’m cannelloni

He’s the new temp.

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Put it on my bill

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.
