Are Board Games also called Board Games because we play them when we are bored?

I realize they are in fact made of particle board.

But really. They should be made of cardboard because we play cards on them.

Haha

Ok lame joke. I'll stop drinking coffee now.

So a photon gets on a plane and the stewardess asks him if he has any luggage

And he says no, I'm traveling light.

My dad literally just made a dad joke.

He was talking about my best planking times (because he likes to keep me athletic) while looking through a record of my planking times, and believed that I could have worked for a longer duration on one session.

I said, " Yeah, I just got bored."

He retorted, "You didn't get board, you got plank."

This response infuriated me more than "go and clean your room then"

Me: Dad, I'm bored! Dad: I'm chairman of the board

UGHHHHH DAAAAAAD.

Dadjoked my coworkers and their grandma today

I work at insurance agency owned by two brothers and their sons. The grandmother is visiting and one of the sons tells her that the toys she had previously brought for the kids to play with in the waiting room are too loud and that we need quiet toys instead. I said that there aren't any quiet toys that exist and his grandma replies with "well there's board games". I reply, "well those aren't fun, they're BORED all the time."

Audible groan from everyone.

Board Games

My family and I are sitting around a table playing Monopoly, and I say "I'm kinda getting bored."

My dad replies, "Why do you think they call them board games?"
