I once swallowed a book of synonyms.

It’s gave me thesaurus throat I’ve ever had.

Why are some words bad words?

They picked on the other words in grammar school.

I made a comment about an actresses short hair to my fiancΓ©e

Me: "Hmm, I wish I could pull off her short hair, I never could"
Him: "Aw, I'm sure you could. I'll hold her down while you yank it out"
Didn't see that coming.

Edit: thanks guys I didn't realise fiance/e has genders.

Got my coworker yesterday.

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.

I asked a friend for a small favour.

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.

Classic when meeting a friend's parents.

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.

"I don't know, can you?"
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.
