They help kids think about language in a new way, usually by exploiting the flexible grammar and word order of the English language. Dad Jokes that are puns prepare children to read classic literature such as Shakespeare, which utilizes play-on-words to express deeper meaning. What I guess I’m trying to say, is that they are very e-joke-ational.
I took her to the Vet and said her next bowel movement could spell disaster…
They all came out looking different but they taste the same.
It was stationary.
Her card is entirely mushroom based and one of the lines i got offline is
You are like a truffle hard to find and incredibly valuable. I want to change the hard to find part.
Here are some puns I already have
Not to be Mushy but since it is your birthday I just want to say; I think you are the most Fungiing awesome mom, you are cute as a Button, you put in the fun in Fungus, you have always been there for Morel support, and you are like a Truffle; hard to find and incredibly valuable. You are the Champion of Moms! I mean I turned out alright, not to toot my own Trumpet.
I want to use the word "fungimentally" and "sporatically" if possible too haha let me know if you have any extras to add!

I would love to hear your own jokes you have written that use word play or other punny techniques. Here is a joke I wrote:
My friend said, " Me and Holly are going to the mall today." I responded, "You mean, Holly and I." My friend, "You're such a grammar nazi! You know what I meant." I respond, "No, it is you who is a grammar nazi because you're anti-semantic."
A theatrical performance about grammar enthusiasts to be a play on words?
He was prepping his GRE and I noticed he had a book on word comparisons and grammar, pretty much like those SAT questions in the verbal section. My response after he commented on how reading it has improved his language skills:
"My vocabulary is awful, for lack of a better word."
The resulting groan was glorious.
They picked on the other words in grammar school.
So I asked a friend to bid a little bit on stuff I have on ebay. He didn't have much time and asked me for a favour instead, so I did that for him with the concluding words: "And now you do my bidding."
I patted myself on the shoulder after that.
Edit: Grammar.
So I'm at a friend's house and his parents are there. He introduces me and then his dad takes over.
-- Hi just_another_juan I'm Luis, and this is my wife. Most people call her Veronica but I usually call her on the phone.
EDIT: Grammar; extra word.
Me: Dad can I have Chips?
Dad: I don't know, can you?
Me: (Calling on the phone) Hi Dad, can I talk to Mom?
Dad: I don't know, can you?
Me: Dad, can you pass me the salt.
Dad: Yes, yes I can. (Continues eating his dinner, doesn't pass the salt)
I never really thought of this as a Dad joke, I always just thought my dad was being an a** or trying to teach me better grammar, but he always laughed when he said it so i guess this was his ongoing Dad Joke.
This went on and on to the point where I had to remove the word Can from my vocabulary.
So there's a girl, who just graduated from High School as an honors student but just a few A's away from making Valedictorian. After her graduation, her father walks up to her and says "you've let me down."
The girl goes to medical school. Once again, she graduates near the top of her class but isn't the top of her class. The father walks up to her and says "you've let me down."
The girl was nominated for a big promotion in her hospital but was just a few marks away from securing it. Her father walks up to her and says "you've let me down."
Years pass. The woman has grown to hate her father. One day, she receives a letter saying her father had passed away. Forgetting all of her hate, she gets on the next flight to her mother's home.
As soon as she arrives, her mother hands her a letter detailing one final request from her father.
"At my funeral, I would like to have my daughter lower my body into my grave so she can let me down one more time."
EDIT: Grammar, wording, etc.
I think they picked on the other words in grammar school.
