My parents strongly discouraged me to pursue a career in archaeology

They said there is no future in it.

A friend of mine was discouraged that they couldn't come up with dad jokes. I told them anyone can make dad jokes, you just have to stretch out the thought process a little father.

As an owner of a nightclub, I had small insects discourage unsavory types from entering my establishment...

They were my deter ants.

Uncle Ben would probably never discourage Peter from becoming an Avenger.

...but his Aunt May

Jehovah’s Witness don’t celebrate Halloween

I guess they don’t appreciate random strangers knocking on their doors

My GF was worried about her Star Wars cosplay.

She wanted to go as the opening credits and start by painting it on her face.

Then she got discouraged, β€œI can’t just paint it all dark with words on it, that’s blackface!”

I told her, β€œNo, that’s typeface.”

Man with a wooden eye

There was a man, who in high-school, had a wooden eye. He was quite self conscious about it, so when it came time for the school dance, he didn't have the nerve to ask a girl to dance. He would go up to a girl and she would turn away instantly. He was very discouraged, until he saw across the room a girl, alone with a peg leg. He thought "perfect! she might want to dance with me!" and walked over. When he asked her to dance, she looked up grinning and said "Would i? Would I?!" offended, he looked back and said. "Peg leg! peg leg!"

I think I Nailed this

I'm on my mobile, so I apologize for any typos.


Today I had a simple surgical procedure at my local podiatrist.

At the end of the procedure the doctor was applying an acid to the surgical site, and I asked what he was using.

Doc: "...this is called Phenol, and it discourages the regrowth of the ingrown nail."

Me: "That sounds phenolmenal!"

He stopped what he was doing for a moment, and we had a good laugh, turns out he had never heard that all to obvious pun.

Also, I'm pretty sure khakis are going to sprout from my legs pretty soon.

I'll keep you all in the loop on that front
