Ceylonese Puns

I've recently been interested in local Tamil music & would greatly appreciate any recommendations for local Tamil musicians of the past and present :)

Thank you all in advance!

From the Office of the Governor-General of Ceylon, Sir Oliver Goonetilleke, came an announcement early in April of 1958. British negotiators from Singapore had arrived and discussed for quite some time the prospect of the independence of Ceylon. The end of the discussions were most agreeable to the Governor-General Goonetilleke and his own staff of negotiators representing the Ceylonese people: Ceylon would be granted independence as the Dominion of Ceylon no later than 1st January, 1961.

British negotiators made a brief statement:

“While we regret the circumstances of the departure of Ceylon, we do look forward to a long and healthy relationship working together as members of the same Commonwealth as we venture into the fraught future.”

Terms for the departure are mostly hinged on assisting the Ceylonese government in preserving its internal security against any further subversive efforts and reestablishing their ability to maintain that security without the assistance of British troops. Britain has committed herself fully to assist insofar as such assistance is required by the Ceylonese to ensure they are able to defend themselves and participate actively and equitably on the global stage in the coming decades.

As the title points out I'm in search for an online shop similar to Yunnan Sourcing or Goartea that sells ceylon tea or any non-chinese tea in general and ships worldwide. Every suggestion will be appreciated.

> The brilliant effect of the Coronation dress is hinted at by this embroidery sample which in itself conveys freshness and harmony tempered with stateliness and dignity afforded by the luxurious materials and the exactitude of the embroidery.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
