Take It Back Puns

Because they stop at every fork in the road

Riceless.

After all, it is Sunday, too.

The difference is staggering.

But I'm putting together a crack team.

...."You're right. I should have weighed it for you."

I looked her right in the eyes and said in mock surprise "The difference is staggering"

Without any hesitation, the homeless man pounces into the water to save him. After doing CPR on the well dressed man he coughs the water from his lungs, the business man gratefully thanks the homeless man.

The business man says "Is there anything I can do for you? Money is something not out of the question."

The homeless man responds "I'd honestly just be grateful for a job, sir."

So the business man nods "That is something I can definitely help you out with, have you ever had an opportunity to work on a cruise ship?"

A few days later, the homeless man is hooked up with working a job as a janitor for the night shift. The captain of the ship tells the homeless "We just need you working night shift, and since this is a provide entertainment for higher classed individuals, we can't have you wondering around during the day. On the off hand you're pleased to do whatever you please after your shift." The homeless man then nods understanding the situation.

Later during that night the captain is casual watching over the homeless man in his free time, and he's absolutely baffled by this dive he's witnessed. He rushes down to him and explains

"Do you have any idea how insane that dive was?"

The man just mutters to the captain "No? It's was just a simple dive, right?"

The captain examines "In my entire life I have never seen some dive without making a simple SPLASH! There has never been a human alive to this date that was able to accomplish what you just did!"

The man is taken aback for a second and says "So what are you saying to me?"

The captain rambles on more "I'll make a deal with you, every night we're going to take the diving board up, and we're going to put on a show for every single passenger."

So every night they're training, taking the diving board higher and higher, and every singletime he hit the water there isnt a single splash. Then the day finally came and all the passengers flood around the boat to see the dive. So the man approaches the ladder and he just starts climbing and climbing. He climbed till he couldn't see the boat anymore, and he climbed till he could see curvature of the Earth.

And finally he jumps. He's just falling and falling till he passed the clouds then can finally see the boat. His formation falls into perfection. He finally hits the pool and like ever other night there wasn't singular splash. But he keeps going and smashes through the ENTIRE ship. So the man swims around to the side of the sinking ship.

The captain

Smokey the Bear was relaxing in his new house.

He'd just moved to the neighbourhood and was enjoying retirement after years of working for the U.S. Forest Service. He was sitting in his favourite easy chair, reading a particularly engaging book, when the doorbell rang.

Smokey sighed, set the book face down (his sister was always so mad at him for doing this as it ruined the spine, but seeing as this was essentially the latest in a series of airport bestsellers, he didn't feel like he was damaging anything particularly worth saving (though he had to admit it was pretty compelling, if a bit tawdry) and got up to answer the door.

When he opened it, there was a ram standing there, with a stack of fliers in his arms.

"Hello sir or madam would you like a.... OH! It's you! You're Smokey! I love your work!"

"That's quite alright, thank you" Smokey said "Now what can I do for you, young man?"

"Oh gosh, I'm so flustered" said the ram. "I never expected to see a celebrity on my first day!" "First day of...?" said Smokey. "Oh! Sorry, yes!" the ram stammered. "My sister and I just opened a new flower shop down the street and I was just handing out these brochures and it would just mean the world to us both if you would take one!"

Smokey looked down at the coupon in the ram's hand, then back up to his face.

"Sorry, kid. I'm not going to take this".

The poor ram was shocked "You're... not?"

"Now, if your sister was here, I'd accept it from her, but not from you".

"Wh... but... I don't understand...? Why my sister?"

Smokey got a serious expression on his face and looked the ram dead in the eye.

"Only ewes can present florist fliers".

A bullfrog named Bob hopped into a bank and up to a clerk. The name plaque read Patricia Wack.

Bob croaked “hello ma’am I would like to borrow some money for my business.”

Patricia looked down at him and explained “well for that you’d need to put up some collateral”

Bob places and slides, with his webbed hand, a small crystal figure of a unicorn.

Patricia looks at it for a good while before saying “I’m not sure I can take this as collateral but I’ll ask the manager. “

She leaves for a bit and comes back with the manager and explains Bob’s proposal, pointing out the crystal figurine.

The manager stares at Bob, then at the unicorn. He inspects it intensely, then looks over to Patricia and nods “it’s a knick knack, Ms. Patty Wack! Give that Frog a Loan!”

The man goes to discuss the matter with his Jewish neighbor.

"It happened with my son, too! He left home Jewish and came back a few days later a Christian."

They go to talk to the rabbi about this issue. "You're not gonna believe this," the rabbi told them. "My Jewish son also left and came back a Christian!"

So they had to take it a level higher. The rabbi talked to God, "our sons are leaving home and returning as Christians! What's going on?"

God replies "so, you're not gonna believe this..."

This was not any ordinary bird however, as he was able to speak and understand English at a perfect level. For quite a while, he didn't use it much to his advantage. He was content simply fluttering around and living peacefully with his bird wife.

But one day, tragedy struck! Our bird one day woke up to an empty nest, no bird kids, no bird wife, just him and some twigs.

He starts asking around his bird community, and eventually pieces together that his bird wife got tired of him and his lack of ambition. She took the bird kids and flew off to stay with her bird Mother.

Our bird was left with an overwhelming sense of listlessness, realizing that everything he had worked towards in his bird life was now gone.

Our bird, now destitute and lonely, decided he was tired of bird life, and wanted to use his English speaking ability to try something new.

He decides to fly into the nearest human town, and observe for a bit. He perched himself on a tree overlooking the main street of the town, and simply watched.

After an hour or two, he noticed several people heading into a building, one labelled as "Bar". He decides that if he wants to truly utilize his prowess of the English language, the best place to start is with other English speakers, so he flies down to the building and hops his way inside.

Our bird makes his way over the bar, hops up on a stool, and says "Hey bartender, can I get a drink?" The bartender and a few other people nearby notice that these words came out of a bird and are immediately and completely enthralled and bewildered by this sight.

The bartender saunters over and asks "Did you just ask for a drink? But you're a bird! I've never seen anything like this before, but if you want a drink I'm happy to oblige".

The bartender pours the bird some water, places it in front of him, and they start chatting. After realizing what was happening, every patron at the bar is standing around the bird, eager to get another peek at this otherworldly phenomenon. People ask the bird some questions, and the bird happily responds, informing them all of his plight and his goal to take full advantage of his gift. More people make their way to him, snapping pictures and videos to share with their friends. The bird loves all the attention and is more than happy to indulge each and every customer who comes up to him.

After a few hours, closing time rolls around. Most people make their way out of the bar, ecstatic to share their newfound memories with family an

A guy is getting ready to take his girlfriend to prom. First he goes to rent a tux, but there’s a long line at the shop and it takes forever.

Next, he has to get some flowers, so he heads over to the florist and there’s a huge line there. He waits forever but eventually gets the flowers.

He heads out to rent a limo. Unfortunately, there’s a large line at the rental office, but he’s patient and gets the job done.

Finally, it’s prom night. The two are dancing happily and his girlfriend is having a great time. When the song is over, she asks him to get her something to drink, so he heads over to the punch table and comes back quick with the drink.

A man comes in and offers to buy the dog and asks to speak to it. Go ahead, says the shop keeper. So how did you learn to talk? Well it's just something I picked up as a service dog for the blind. After that I went to Afghanistan helping to sniff out bombs. Then I came back received a medal and became the official guard dog of the White House. Convinced? Says the shopkeeper? Absolutely says the man. How much? $100. The man takes the dog not believing his good fortune. The shop keeper's wife comes in and says, you only got $100 for him? Jokes on him says the shopkeeper. That dog's a liar, he never did any of that crap.

I was in the library reading the morning paper when a chicken walked in. It strutted up to the librarian's desk, and jumped right up on top.

"Bawk" it said.

The librarian said, "You would like a book. Ok. Wait here. " Moments later the librarian brings a book to the chicken, and the chicken leaves.

A week later, I was in the library reading the morning paper when the same chicken comes in, walks up to the librarian's desk and jumps up. "Bawk, bawk" says the chicken.

The librarian says, "You would like two books". She returns with two books, and the chicken leaves with the books tucked under her wing.

A week after that, I was sitting in the library reading the morning paper. In walks the chicken and struts right up, and then jumps on top of the librarian's desk. "Bawk bawk BAAAWWWk!" it screams.

Without batting an eye, the librarian says, "I see. You would like three books. Two short ones and a long one. I'll be right back".

I had just finished reading the morning paper, so I decided to follow this chicken. Out the door it went, across the street, to get to the other side of course, down the alley, past the shell station, across the play ground to the other slide, into the forest, and then to a pond. The chicken sees a frog and walks over to it.

The frog takes the three books. Looks at them for a moment, and then shakes his head. "Reddit, reddit, reddit" he says.

They’ll just throw shade at you.

When he gets to heaven he goes up to St. Peter and asks him: "St. Peter? The whole time I was alive, I've always wondered: Am I white with black stripes or black with white stripes?"

St. Peter responds: " Hmm. That's a good question. You're gonna have to take that up with the big guy." (meaning god)

So the zebra goes to God and repeats his question.

God responds with "Well, you are what you are."

The zebra's face lights up and he goes running back to St. Peter yelling "I know what I am! I know what I am!"

St Peter says "Okay, okay! Calm down. What are you?"

Zebra: "I'm white with black stripes!"

St. Peter: "How do you figure that?"

Zebra: "It's because when I asked God what I am, he said 'you are what you are'. If I was black with white stripes, he would've said 'you is what you is'!

I said Iran's so far away. How far is it? My Son immediately shot back, for a Flock of Seagulls, it would take at least a couple days. So proud of him

It's a boutonniere. My mom's boyfriend graced me with this one.

I'm going to take your blood pressure, but don't worry, I'll give it right back to you.

Made me chuckle.

It was a bit warm, but the store across the street looked like it had an ice machine, with a sign posted on it. I said “hey go check out if that is really an ice machine.” So my buddy walks over, takes a look at the sign and comes back, shaking his head.

“So, what is it?” I ask.

“No dice, not ice notice.”

One day I was with my family on a gorgeous day and we were eating outside in the backyard. We were having salmon grilled on a cedar plank, so I was looking forward to this. My mother-in-law who did the grilling announces it's done, so we all sit down with heavenly looking salmon, corn on the cob, potato salad and what-have-you.

No sooner did we take a bite that we realize that the salmon's not quite done yet. My mother, who was also with us, said that it seems to be a bit underdone. My mother-in-law agrees and proceeds to collect the salmon back to finish it off in the oven since the grill was out and cleaned up.

As they were walking back with plates full of undercooked salmon, I realized my golden opportunity to strike, upon which I yelled out to them:

"Yeah, we wouldn't want anyone catching salmonella now!"

I've never been prouder of myself than in that moment and cemented myself as a newly minted dad (firstborn was just a couple of months old).

This is a compilation from the internet, and a few I made or heard myself. Hope you laugh!

He walked into my room and says, "Hey dad, can you take a picture of me?"

I thought it was a weird request, but said, "Sure."

As I'm reaching for my phone, he pulls out a framed picture of himself from behind his back he had taken off one of our shelves, hands it to me, and says, "Ok, thanks!" and walks out without even cracking a smile.

I stared at that picture for a few seconds in proud silence.

*edit/update* Wow... I woke up this morning and noticed a ton of notifications. This made my 10 year old very happy so thank you. And thank you for the awards as well. Totally unexpected and unnecessary but very appreciated.

The next morning she saw me loading it into the back of my car.

She rushed out to the driveway and shouted "Hey! Where do you think you are you going?!"

I said, "I'm taking him back, honey."

"Taking him back!" she yelled. "Why?"

I said, "It's not your birthday any more."

Jesus is walking in Jerusalem when he sees Benjamin Goldstein, the robemaker.

“Excuse me, Ben? I have been told that you are the man to see when you want to have robes that will last walking for miles and being touched by hundreds at a time”

Goldstein ponders for a minute, then an idea comes to him. He makes Jesus the most beautiful robes ever made, all colors and the softest but most durable material Jesus had ever seen. Jesus was grateful and wandered off to give sermons.

About a year goes by, and Jesus finds his way back to Goldstein. “Pardon me, Ben? The robes you made me were magnificent, but as all good things do, these are now well worn. Can you make me another?”

Goldstein takes a moment to plan out his masterpiece, then proceeds to make a second robe that put the first robe to shame. It almost glowed in the sunlight. While delivering it, he told Jesus, “you know, since I made your last robes, I have seen more customers come through my doors than I could ever have hoped for, and I’m sure I’ll get even more from these ones! Hey, Jesus! We should start a company!”

Jesus inquired “what should we call it?”

Goldstein shrugs and suggests, “how about Jesus and Goldstein’s robes?”

Jesus looks back and says, “let’s call it Lord and Tailor”

"I'm not sure..." came the reply, "But his face rings a bell!"

After standing in line for a moment he comes up to a teller with the name tag Patrica Wack who asked him what he was looking for.

The frog takes a moment and says, “I’d like a loan of a million dollars.”

Patrica look at him in utter shock and says, “But you’re a frog… what is your collateral? How are you going to pay it back?”

The frog waits for her to stop speaking then states simply, “My father is Mick Jagger.”

“How can you prove it?“ Patrica instantly responded.

Responding to her incredulity, the frog pulls out a small porcelain porcupine and places it in front of her, allowing a moment of inspection. Soon she asks, “What does this mean?” Looking to the frog for an explanation.

“Ask your boss,” He says. “he’ll know.”

Then, without waiting even a moment he turned on his heels and walked out of the bank. Patrica, dumbfounded by the strange interaction put the small porcupine to the side of her desk and waited for the end of the day…

—————————

At the end of the day Patrica went to her boss and recounted the whole strange story about the frog and handed her boss the porcupine, asking, “So what is it anyway?”

Her boss looked at the small porcupine for a moment then looked back up at her before responding,

“That’s a knickknack Patty Wack, give that frog a loan, his old man’s a rolling stone.”

P.S. While it may not exactly be a dad joke as expected, I did hear it from my father, who put great emphasis into the importance of the story. Hope y’all enjoyed.

there’s three main candidates in the running. first is joe biden, looking to keep the presidency; second is donald trump, looking to take back the presidency, and lastly is obama, wearing a sombrero and a mustache, going by the name… juan-bama. as the election results are tallied in, it’s apparent that it’s a perfect three-way tie in both the popular vote and the electoral college. the nation is in uproar, nobody can reach a decision as to how to choose the next president. but at last a solution comes forward: a literal presidential race. whoever can run the fastest lap around the white house—timed by a secret service member—will be sworn into office.

first up is donald trump. he boldly states “this will no doubt be the fastest lap around the white house, perhaps even the fastest lap run anywhere, ever,” but, not being in the best shape, he takes 18 minutes and 34 seconds.

next is joe biden. he doesn’t waste any breath for trash talk or boasting, he just readies himself at the starting line and—at the count—takes off. he’s running fast, really fast for someone of his age… at least for the first 5 minutes. but he forgets where he’s going, and finishes his lap as a leisurely walk around the grounds, taking 26 minutes and 49 seconds.

lastly is juanbama, who runs like hell around the white house. he’s running fast, faster than he’d ever run before. he completes his lap, collapsing across the finish line, and looks up desperately at the secret service member. “what was it?” he asks. “what was my time?”

the agent looks down at their stopwatch. “twelve oh-three.”

juanbama looks at them in disbelief. “well,” he sputters, “that’s got to be some sort of record!”

the secret service member shakes their head. “no, actually. bush did nine eleven.”

One of the basses said, “Wait, last night we came back a couple minutes late and missed our entrance. How can we make sure that doesn’t happen tonight?”

Another bass said, “Don’t worry, I tied the pages of the conductor’s music together with a piece of string between the 3rd and 4th movement. It will take him a couple minutes to get it untied, so that will buy us a couple extra minutes to get back.”

So, they go next door to the bar, and with their newfound plan, they decide to drink even more and again lose track of time.

The third movement comes to a close, and the basses start staggering onto stage as the conductor is struggling with the string in his music. And of course, at this point, the crowd is on the edge of their seats…

It’s the bottom of the ninth, the score is tied, and the basses are loaded.

A man buys a parrot, thinking it’ll be a good companion. Upon getting the parrot home it starts talking, using really fowl (sorry, not sorry) language.

The man attempts to explain that he doesn’t tolerate that kind of talk in his home, but the parrot won’t cease its cursing. Angry and frustrated, the man punishes the parrot by putting it in the freezer for a full minute.

Upon retrieving the parrot from the freezer it’s incredibly upset and begins hurling even viler insults at the man. So he puts the parrot back in the freezer for 3 full minutes.

This time upon retrieving the bird it seems to understand the situation and through chattering beak promises not to speak that way again.

A few days later however the parrot again begins using filthy language and the man, being fed up, returns the parrot to the freezer for a full five minutes.

This time when taking the parrot out it is visibly shaken, has frost on its feathers and is shivering something fierce.

The man asks ‘have we learned our lesson?’ To which the bird replies ‘yes sir, no more cursing from me. But I have one question.’

Man asks ‘what’s that?’

Parrot replies ‘what the fuck did that turkey say to you?’

The difference is staggering..!!

A pirate walks into the doctors.

“Yarr, take a look at me back; it be covered in moles” he says.

“Nothing to worry about.” The doctor tells him. “They’re benign”.

“Yarr, count again.” The pirate replies. “There be ten of them”

“Daddy, where do I come from?”

His poor father started sweating, knowing that one day his son would want to know all about ‘it’. He looked around for his wife to take on the explanation, but she was out at the shops. It was no good, his father thought. ‘It’s time he knew’ and took the young lad to one side and explained how mummy and daddy met and then married and wanted to produce a baby and, well, you know the rest. After much awkwardness and embarrassment, after nearly an hour, the dad finally reached the point in the story where his son was born in hospital. The young boy’s face just stared back, mouth open and speechless. “So, tell me son, why do you ask?”

The boy, still in shock, said. “Billy Clark in our class, said he was from Chicago”
