Lovely's Purchase Puns

Immeatiately.

They..need to be charged.

The company I work for has just purchased a Barge for works on a bridge. There is a competition to name the Barge and I would love it if the reddit community could help me win- I get a paid day off if successful. The best I have come up with is the “Pablo Escabarge” but I’m pretty sure naming our new barge after a mass murder and drug lord won’t go down!

Dad Awards

To truly capture the “Spirit of the Dad” what are some achievements you think make a True Dad?

1. “Fixed it!” - complete an entire home improvement project in a single trip to the hardware/lumber store.

2. “Gotcha!” - demonstrate the Dad Reflex by catching a toddler seconds before disaster.

3. “That’s my boy/girl!” - get in trouble with the SO when your son/daughter picked up a bad habit of yours, or develops your bad sense of humor/pranks.

4. “Here boy!” - develop a stronger bond with the new family pet than any of the kids who wanted it in the first place.

5. “Office time” - spend at least 30 minutes in the bathroom hiding from the kids/spouse even though you don’t actually have to go to the bathroom.

6. “Blame it on the dog” - make at least one passenger choke on a fart in the car.

7. “Really?” - have a kid/spouse completely buy in to one of your bad dad jokes. (I had my wife convinced for nearly an hour that the rumble strips on the side of the highway was called the “Brailleway” and it was for blind drivers)

8. “But the kids will love it!” - use the kids as justification to purchase something that you’ve always wanted.

9. “Try it, you’ll like it!” - introduce a kid into your hobby as an excuse to go out more often than the spouse would usually tolerate.

10. “Saved the day!” - prevent a meltdown by fixing the favorite toy that seemed completely destroyed.

11. “Animal surgeon” - conduct ‘surgery’ to patch up a favorite stuffed animal.

12. “Here, let me show you” - take over a video game under the guise of showing the kid how to play.

What else can you add to this list?

She was working in the shoe section at a major department store, and after she helped someone find some shoes and purchase them I told her "Wow, you're very sole-ful when selling shoes!" she responded with a bit of a facepalm and groan. I continued to make puns about shoes for several minutes and I finished with "Maybe I could master the feet(feat) of making puns about shoes." I suppose she gets tired of hearing my puns but I love her reactions to them.
