Smile (band) Puns

It was called Smells Like Green Spearmint.

While perusing a large collection of jewelry at the store -

Clerk - "Can I help you?"

Dad - "I wan't to get my wife of 12 years something nice." Gestures towards the wide banded necklaces in the case

Clerk - "Do you want a choker?"

Dad - Pauses, smiles and says "Only when she's acting up."

I remember telling my dad when Matt Bellamy of the band Muse proposed to Kate Hudson, the ring he gave her was worth $500,000. My dad responded, "Well, I bet that put a supermassive black hole in his wallet!" and then proceeded to stare at me with the open-mouthed smile of a dad who's just made a dad joke and is awaiting a reaction. I groaned, hard.

Me: (after just finishing an afternoon nap) I just discovered the best band to nap to

Dad: what's that?

Me: R.E.M.

He immediately groaned and rolled his eyes, but then he smiled and I could tell he was proud.
