Chiesa del Gesù, Rome: the Gesuit Mother Church
>“A palace of a mixed, but gorgeous architecture situated in the central, and at the same time the most retired part of the city of Rome; a palace distinguished not only by its chaste architecture and the riches it contains, but the splendid situation which it occupies, is the residence of the General of the Order of the Jesuits. This palace which is called ‘La Gesu’ is situated on a square of the same name, evidently after the name of the Order; […]

>One evening when the Tramontana (north-wind) blew in its height, and the streets of the city of Rome were as empty as if the malarea had swept away the whole population. An evening, when all the inhabitants of the eternal city creep into their dwellings, and crawl round their Scaldone as if the day of judgment had approached, or as if by some fatal accident, the north pole had broken loose, and offered its icy hand to the lovely mistress of the world.

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.

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!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
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.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
You take away their little brooms
