When I was about 5 years old, my dad told the greatest dad joke. He’d be driving the family through our neighborhood and would say “Look! A man wearing a dress!” My siblings and I would look around and laugh with my dad. We loved when he would say this (it was like an absurd scavenger hunt) but my mother absolutely hated it. “Where? What are you talking about Tom?!” She actually got angry since she couldn’t see the man wearing a dress either. Since he would do this on a semi-regular basis to make us laugh, it became a problem with my mom and she ended up getting so angry as to forbid him saying it ever again.
I never really understood what was going on since I was so young, but I really missed the man wearing a dress joke. At one point, I thought the joke referenced a nearby business with a kilted man for a mascot. A few years ago, I asked my dad what the joke was.
“Oh! It wasn’t the sign,” he told me. “We had a family in the neighborhood with the last name ‘Manwaring’. When we would drive by their house, I’d point at their mailbox and say ‘Look, a Manwaring address!’”
I was too young to read at the time so it took 20 years to be in on his brilliant pun.
I am making cheesy valentine-like cards for my fellow Adventure Monkeys--a name that was dubbed to the group I did humanitarian aid work with in Guatemala. For our last meeting tomorrow, I want to bring cheesy valentine-like cards, but I'm having trouble coming up with a silly pun. I'd like to use the words Quetzal (national bird of Guatemala) or Monkey (for our group) if possible.
Any ideas? I need your brilliant pun minds!
Fo drizzle

It was a match made in heaven.
My thoughts are with his family.
As he died, he kept insisting "be positive", but it's hard without him.
They caught a lot of meatwood flack
Sherlock Holmes walks into a bar and orders an IPA. "I've earned this, I just finished my tax return," he tells the bartender. "Luckily I'm getting tons of cash back, thanks to all my brilliant deductions."
This happened today.
I'm at park/playground with my kid. He's playing, I'm throwing a ball for my dog.
Three little girls, maybe around 10 years old, run up. "Can we pet your dog?"
Me, "Sure, would you like to throw the ball for her?"
One of the girls takes the thrower and chucks the ball. It goes a long way.
Me: "Wow, great throw!"
Girl: "I've got my dad's arms."
Me (already laughing on the inside): "Really? What does he use?"
They stare at me.
Sigh.
He said: "Sure, knock yourself out!"
It was here a minute ago.
Not for me. A skin for a friend.
She said "thanks". I said "don't mention it"
All javelins to me
It's about time.
Water's brilliant.
Water's fantastic.
Can't get enough water. Water's smashing...
....sorry I'm gushing.
Looks like EGOT 'em all.
The ceremony was rubbish but the reception was brilliant.
If we got rid of the Earth's core, it would be dismantling to our infrastructure.
To my surprise he shrugged and said sure.
On Christmas Day, I excitedly tore open my gift box. To my anger and disappointment, it only contained 10 plastic toy pigs and deers.
“Daaaaaddd!!!!” I wailed in tears.
Dad gave me the biggest shit-eating grin and said “Well, I got you ten sows and bucks just like you asked.”
Brilliant at jography though.
He would be the Pastor of Muppets
An udder disaster
Just a bit of light humor there.
"How are you feeling?"
"I feel like an old shoe"
"What does THAT mean?"
"I don't smell good!"
They're building a Hamsterdam.
People, not so much.
So my brother is a policeman and last night got a call about a stolen washing machine...
So he goes to it, ridiculous argument insues between the two parties then a slight wrestling match from my brother and the accuser and he gets nicked. So then my mum asks him
"What about the washing machine? Did the other man steal it?"
my dad replies instantly:
"It made a clean getaway"
I can't wait to have kids so my brain work the same way...
Until they said, ‘can’t you just use a sponge?’
And neither are our children...
In 2015 we ate over 74 million bananas and only 6 monkeys.
