Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

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 πŸ˜‚

Switchback - theories?

Hi all,

I think with game 3 being out we have more hints on what a potential game 5 may look like. I will assume Switchback is the title of game 5.

If you have any theories post them below! None of this is confirmed this is just what form I think the game may take.

  • Located in UK near Winterfold forest
    • Circled with ? location on Zain's map - Winterfold forest
    • Matches dialog in-game
    • "Switchback" is also a distinctly British term
  • In the wilderness
    • A switchback is either:
      • A rollercoaster - of which there are none near Winterfold
      • A zig zag railway up a slope - while there is a nearby railway, it is not zigzagging. However the style of the logo appears to be railway-inspired and the I has what look like lights on it
      • A zig zagging hiking trail up a slope
    • The logo appears to have several nails - this may be a representation of a sign somewhere in the woods
  • Involves cryptids or British Isles mythological monsters
    • Zain's map shows several different mythological monsters or locations
    • Matches claw marks in Switchback logo
    • Potentially werewolves - as the title is "Switchback" - could be a double meaning also referring to a werewolf's ability to switch back to a human
    • Potentially related to some of Britain's big cat cryptids - such as Surrey puma

These aren't dad jokes...

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.

I did it, I finally did it. After 4 years and 92 days I went from being a father, to a dad.

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.
