Anyone know of another instance of this name pun?
Today the chef asked him to prepare an order of chicken, so he said, "Marco, pollo."
My mom and I were talking about how Marco Polo spent a long time in Kublai Khan's court. She mentions that his father abandoned him there. My dad says, "Yeah, he couldn't find him in the pool...He kept calling 'Marco!'"
Dad: "What are you watching?"
Son: "Marco Polo, it is one of those netflix original series things."
Dad: "So where do they keep the pool?"
Context: watching the netflix series "Marco Polo".
Family rolls eyes and father chuckles.
Marco Polio
It's not hard.
Marco Polio
Marco Polio.
I knew a young couple who had a baby boy they named Marco. They did not believe in vaccinations and at 8 Marco got polio and just could not stand it.
Any time I order something that lists "chicken" as an option, like fajitas for example, he asks the following:
"You've got fajitas? Okay, chicken or pollo?"
At this point I just tell him either one is fine.
Dad: NervousPooer, you forgot one of your shirts at our house yesterday.
Me: Oh? What shirt was it?
Dad: Hmm...
Me: Oh Polo?
Dad: Marco!
