What is The Matrix...?

When I was about 15, I asked my parents if I could see "The Matrix." At that time, if I asked to see an R-rated movie, the rule was we waited till it came to video (yes, at the time it was videotapes) and my parents would watch it first without me to decide if they were comfortable with me watching it.

They watched it, and the next day, my dad asked me what I thought The Matrix was- I said it was some kind of group of cops or something that could do cool aerial fighting moves.

He said, "Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is... You have to see it for yourself."

For those who are unfamiliar, this is exactly the line used by one of the main characters when he introduces the concept of The Matrix.

No one? Just me? I thought it was funny. Oh well.

And the whole room rolls its eyes

Group of us hanging out after class

Friend A: "I slept in till two today"

Me: "You missed all the sunlight! How do you get your Vitamin D?

Friend A: "I had a big plate of eggs after I woke up"

Friend B: "Eggs have Vitamin D?"

Me : "I guess if you cook them sunny side up"

You know you have a great dad joke when you are the only one in the room laughing
