They were always having strikes
If I think the flies have done a good job, I'll leave them a tip, I don't care. I've heard the pay is shit.
She asked, "Window or Aisle?"
After a moment, I replied, "or you'll what?"
I responded, "Sorry ma'am, I only wear boxers."
after a long sigh "Very well sir.. have a good day."
As a fellow ginger she came to me today and introduced herself. Not feeling so well. I politely declined her handshake. Explained that the stomach bug had gotten me. She proceeded to say it was nice to meet a fellow ginger, and followed with "you should drink some ginger tea to help with your stomach."
To which I replied, "Can't. That would be cannibalism."
Took her a second. Then a guffaw.
I told him "Man, this is like something out of the 1930's gangster era!"
He said "No no no, it's nothing like that. Back then, they used wooden baseball bats."
At least he has a sense of humour about it.
Her-"Sorry about the delay sir our computers are slow in the morning"
Me- "You should enable java script!"
I gues I just didn't work out
She said "This isn't working out."
My dad and I used to hangout alot when I was a teenager. Every time we used to go some place it always started out the same...
Customer service rep: "hi, can I help you?"
My dad: "nope, he was born that way"
Rip dad.
My lady and I workout together during the week. Yesterday was chest day and we usually start with incline DB press. She pumps out her second set very well: controlled reps, full range of motion. I was proud to see her progress. She said the weight felt easy, to which I replied, "you could increase the weight... if you were so inclined." She muttered "oh my goodness..." and walked away.
EDIT: I am now closing applications and will make a decision in the next day or so. Thank you to everybody who applied - the general enthusiasm and support is wonderful to see.

Hey everybody,
The /r/dadjokes community is now over 85,000 subscribers strong. That's pretty great. Pretty super great.
Thus far, over the entire existence of this sub, I have been the only mod. Quietly watching, taking your feedback, removing a post here, approving another there - doing my best not to interfere too much. I'm going to be honest, it hasn't been that hard.
You lot are generally a pretty nice bunch, give or take a few of the more vocal lunatics. There isn't usually a lot of work to be done, or issues that need resolving.
That said, I'm not awake all the time. I can't lurk on Reddit all the time. I don't have all-seeing eyes.
So it's about time I gave another pair of eyes moderator status and entrusted those eyes with a duty of care.
Let's get down to the chase; here's what I'm looking for in an additional mod:
- You live in a very different timezone to Syd, AU - GMT+10
- You have a good sense of humour
- You're not in this purely to grow your 'net rep
- You're interested in being fair, and maintaining fairness
- You maintain civility in yourself and your responses at all times
- You have a bit of time every day to go through reports, spam, and post comments
- You understand that your moderatorship will initially be a trial, and can be revoked at any time if you aren't being magical and rad
- Some general CSS/subreddit formatting knowledge wouldn't go astray, but is not required
Here's what I am not looking for:
- Strong, cemented opinions about what constitutes a dad joke and what doesn't - everybody's dad and humour is different
- An overzealous post remover - I am not looking for an enforcer, the title moderator implies moderation
- A(nother) dictator - it is my preference that this subreddit be gently guided, and not forcibly ruled, we let the community find itself and we listen to what they say
If you wish to apply for the title and duty of being a moderator to /r/dadjokes, simply state your case (why you should be selected, what benefits or experience you bring, etc) in a comment reply to this thread. I will then get in touch with the most worthy seeming applicants. Upvotes and downvites will not be taken int

While getting paint for a project at Lowes, my wife asked the customer service rep which option was the most popular sheen.
I said "Charlie" and neither of them found it funny.
Rep. Tile.
She was telling me how her younger sister has a Bachelor's degree, and makes more money than she does with her Master's in Social Work. Her sister is a phone rep who sells colostomy bags and helps new patients learn to use them. My wife's theory was that her sister makes more for working in the city. To which I said "Maybe she makes more because she has a shitty job".
Dad walks up to check in with two sets of golf clubs by himself
Rep "why are you bringing two sets of clubs?"
Dad "well I'm connecting and figured I had a 50/50 chance of you losing my clubs"
So, I've been in sales meetings for work the last few days. One night I went out with a few of the reps for some drinks. We're taking a cab back to the hotel and ice fishing came up in conversation. One of the reps said "You gotta be careful when you fish for ice, you could drown when you fry it up".... took me a second, then I laughed hysterically.
