Punstoppable
A list of puns related to "Naomi Uemura"
Hello! This is my first post here, and a topic of personal fascination to me, I've read a few books and have researched this topic immensely, as a lot of the story is fragmented through different sources, and a Japanese language wall! Just wanted to share this chilling tale of death in the mountains.
On February 1st, 1984, explorer Naomi Uemura began his latest attempt at making history; a winter solo ascent of the tallest North American peak, Denali (then known as Mt. McKinley)located in unforgiving Alaska. On the morning of February 13th, he briefly made radio contact with a local bush pilot and his photographer, informing them that he had reached the summit the previous evening, (also his 42nd birthday) at around 7pm, however the cloud cover was thick and they could not see him. He was never seen or heard from again, his body never recovered. Uemura was no stranger to facing danger alone. He had become a celebrity in his naitive Japan for his previous, seemingly impossible endeavors. His previous treks included a ridiculous 7500 mile, 3 year doglsled trek from Greenland to Alaska, a 3700 mile solo raft trip down the entire length of the Amazon River, and he was also the first person to reach the North Pole alone; accompanied only by his sled dogs. Uemura was also no stranger to Denali, as he had also completed the first solo climb of the mountain, years before his fateful winter climb.
Uemura was an experienced climber and survivalist, and packed light; a 40lbs pack, a hauling sled, and two ten foot bamboo poles that he carried to prevent crevasse falls on the glacier; one of the biggest threats to solo mountaineers. He decided to forego bringing a tent, instead opting to sleep in snow caves he would build along the way. He also opted to save fuel by consuming a diet of seal oil, whale blubber, and raw caribou along the way, so he would only need to use his stove to melt snow for drinking water. He also brought a small diary with him, as entertainment and also as a log of his journey up the mountain...
During his radio call with the pilot, Uemura said that he had descended to around 18,000 feet, and planned to arrive back at base camp by February 15th. When the pilot reported this when he landed, the news spread quickly of his accomplishment, as he was very well respected as a mountaineer and explorer, even before he had made it back to safety. On the 15th, park rangers and the media excitedly waited for him at base camp, however the excitement

He’s got many adventures like this but all of his books are in Japanese. Has anyone heard of a translated version of his writing?
Thanks!
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.

| Description: | Up for raffle is a brand new and unworn Seiko Prospex Captain Willard 1970 Diver's Modern Re-interpretation, reference number SPB237. The 1970 diver’s, whose asymmetrical extension protected the crown at the four o’clock position. Its solid construction, luminous hands and indexes and150 meter water resistance were perfect for those who required a timepiece with exceptional strength and visibility. The watch proved its reliability in extreme conditions when it was worn by the Japanese adventurer, Naomi Uemura, in the years 1974 to 1976 when he completed a 12,500km solo dog-sled run from Greenland to Alaska. The fabric strap fitted to this Dive Watch incorporates a traditional braiding technique from Japan called Seichu, whose rich texture and color complexion is familiar in Japanese culture for their use in fabric designs, as seen in a traditional “obijime,” the decorative cord that holds a Kimono sash in its place. The strap presents a uniquely Japanese aesthetic and texture and is specially manufactured to have a tensile strength nearly four times that of regular Seiko fabric straps. Further, its strength and resistance to degradation caused by exposure to sunlight, meet the demanding standards of Seiko’s diver’s watches and are perfect for use under water. Case size is 42.7mm. Power reserve is 70 hours. Water resistance up t |
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
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!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
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
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.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms
It was about a weak back.
It’s pronounced “Noel.”
