A list of puns related to "Civilization V"
In 1,000 years, snails will evolve into being an advanced civilization. They will develop their own advanced technologies. In an effort to increase their mobility, they will equip their shells to be modular vehicles called Snail Cars, S-Car for short. Since snails do not have upper extremities, controlling the cars will be voice activated. The initiation command would be, "S-Car, GO!" ππ€£
It was very civil engineeringβ¦
After that, I roe-ed my boat to back to civilization, where I share my wonderful sense of humor!

Long ago there was an ancient alien civilization called the Capri. The Capri werenβt humanoid creatures in fact they most resembled a juice pouch. Their planet was under attack and so out of desperation two Capri sent their alien child to earth. After a long ride the baby landed on earth. The Capri was soon found be two loving parents and was raised like a regular child. After his first day at school he came home and said to his dad βDad, why am I not like the other kidsβ. The dad looked at him and said βbecause youβre a Capri, sonβ

It's a Civil War era iron-hulled gunboat. Would that be too much of a burden?
Me: I wouldn't call it a burden. More like a hardship.
Mom: Milk day?.... O honey you mean Martin Luther King Day! He was a famous civil rights leader.
Kid: O yea I know him! He said βI have a dreamβ

βItβs actually not a very civil way to communicate, yelling that is. I would quite appreciate you being more respectful for us to continue our interaction, thank you. Sir.β
Guess he failed his degree in Civil Engineering.
he lost sight of civilization.

Hey everybody,
The /r/dadjokes community is now over 85,000 subscribers strong. That's pretty great. Pretty super great.
Thus far, over the entire existence of this sub, I have been the only mod. Quietly watching, taking your feedback, removing a post here, approving another there - doing my best not to interfere too much. I'm going to be honest, it hasn't been that hard.
You lot are generally a pretty nice bunch, give or take a few of the more vocal lunatics. There isn't usually a lot of work to be done, or issues that need resolving.
That said, I'm not awake all the time. I can't lurk on Reddit all the time. I don't have all-seeing eyes.
So it's about time I gave another pair of eyes moderator status and entrusted those eyes with a duty of care.
Let's get down to the chase; here's what I'm looking for in an additional mod:
Here's what I am not looking for:
If you wish to apply for the title and duty of being a moderator to /r/dadjokes, simply state your case (why you should be selected, what benefits or experience you bring, etc) in a comment reply to this thread. I will then get in touch with the most worthy seeming applicants. Upvotes and downvites will not be taken int

I'm looking for a team name that is based on a safety pun or play on words. Currently I have Safety Pins, Dukes of Hazard and Risky Business. This is for a workplace event so it also has to be civil.
So imagine a civilization made up of only bedroom furniture. So you have bed frames, nightstands, drawers etc. One day this beautiful dresser fell down and couldn't get up. "Help help help!", the dresser said. Then suddenly this mysterious, strong piece of furniture came to her and helped her up. She said "Thank you! You are my knight in shining armoire"
A mechanical engineer makes weapons and a civil engineer makes targets.
My grandfather called it the Called it the Civil Regional Air Patrol.
We were talking about when women gained the right to vote in the U.S. in my Western Civilization class when my professor launched this zinger. Prof:"When was your grandmother born?" Student:"1917" Prof:"Why couldn't she vote when she was born?" Student:"Because women didn't have the right to vote yet." Prof:"No, because she was only one day old!"
I laughed, most of the class gave a nice groan.
My dad and I were talking about the civil war and the use of slaves and the freedom movement and the such a while ago, (he's a history teacher at the local high school). "Dancing Queen" came on the radio and he leaned over and said, "do you know what people who like this band should be called? Abba-listen-ists" and laughed by himself for a solid minute.
Please help
The son came thundering down the stairs, much to his father's annoyance.
So he said, he said, "How many more times have I got to tell you to come down the stairs quietly? Now, go back up and come down like a civilized human being."
There was a silence, and the son reappeared in the front room.
So his father said, he said, "That's better. Now will you always come down stairs like that."
So the son said, he said, "Suits me - I slid down the bannister."
[this one is actually technically a mom joke]
...and I was explaining how the practice originated during the American Civil War, but they're still young, so I had to explain how we got into the war.
Me (Dad): "...so the South didn't like what the North was doing and they decided they wanted to quit the country."
Wife (Mom): "AND THEY SECEDED! ... Get it? SECEDED! HAHAHAHHA! It's like succeeded, but it... nobody?"
I started my internship today at an environmental consulting firm. My boss was introducing me to a colleague.
Boss: "This is Ellie-okay, he's the summer intern and he's studying civil engineering."
Colleague: "I can tell, he's very polite."
All the guys around his cubicle groaned while the three of us let out a big laugh. I think I'm gonna like working here.
He says it's because he's a civil engineer.
...in front of our shuttle bus yesterday, on our way to a Civil War re-enactment. "He's trying to get away from the battle before it begins", said our driver.
Without missing a beat, I quipped "Yeah, he must have heard there was going to be a shelling."
Half-hearted groans were had, and my wife wanted to disappear. Success!
Civility!
He went as a Civil War soldier. "I thought you meant the 1860's!" he said.
