Outage Puns

Many Hans make light work.

They thought it was too dark.

That's just grape

My girlfriend wnted a new watch so we went to the local shopping centre to go to the Fossil shop. It was shut due to a power outage. Go back the next day and they're open; a quick chat with the shop assistant and she says the problem still isn't fixed and they're using generators to try and get through the day.

I couldn't help myself and say "I guess that means you're running on Fossil Fuel then?"

It didn't go down very well.

Took my daughter and her friend to the airport yesterday. We get on the escalator, and I turn to her friend and say, "The last time I was here, there was a huge power outage."

My daughter groans because she knows what's coming. "Dad, no..."

"Yeah," I tell her friend, "it was crazy. I was stuck on the escalator for almost two hours."

Friend gets puzzle look, turns to my daughter who was just shaking her head.

Yes, it was a good day!

So, we had some storms last night, and it knocked out much of the power around us, and the outages lasted throughout the day. My dad suggested that we get some ice cream after dinner:

Dad: "Do you want to go get some ice cream? I think they'll want to try and sell all their ice cream so it doesn't melt, like a clearance sale."

Me: "You mean a Liquidation?"

Note: Yes, I know the "dad joke" wasn't made by a dad, but at school, I've earned the nickname "Dad" for things like this, so I am proud.
