Dust Mite Puns

the dust mite

So I'm British and my wife is Korean. She is ALWAYS asking for tissue to wipe her nose as it's constantly running.

So joke 1: Baby, are you entering your nose in a marathon? Wife puzzled look Because it's always running.

This led to a problem, she didn't understand it straight away. I was incensed, I explained it and got a few laughs from the family but it wasn't enough, I needed the groan.

The next meal I tried again. In Korean, snot is called Nose water (direct translation). So with this in mind I said this 'Baby, we should send your nose to africa, it's full of water'. This led to the groan I so wanted....and an explaination as to why it was stupid....

Mission sucessful

I'm allergic to dust mites, sneezing and a runny nose being the most common reaction, as a result I usually carry tons of tissues with me. My dad had some words of wisdom for me:

"Even if you don't have issues, you'll have lots of tissues"

Mom had a good laugh. I facepalmed in public without regret
