Elisha Kane Puns

Elisha Kent Kane (2/28/1820-2/16/1852) was an Arctic adventurer who among other expeditions participated in the expedition to save Sir John Franklin. In one of his expeditions, he claimed to have found a rock column which he called "Tennyson's Monument" -- which he sketched (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Elisha-Kane-Tennysons-Monument-1860-Wood-Engraving-/400164406820). Does anybody know where this is located in Greenland? Does it/did it even exist? (I know 19th-century Arctic adventurers sometimes played fast and loose with facts, so I wonder if it even exists/existed). Does anybody know?

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.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

In my Treasure of the Sierra Madre review, I remarked upon the incredible age of the classic, which, at the time of writing, clocked in at 73 senior, but still felt as contemporary as ever. Here, two of it’s cinematic legends in Humphrey Bogart and John Huston return with The Maltese Falcon, and can go seven further than Sierra Madre: the highly regarded noir is now 80-years-old – but which takes the crown?

The Maltese Falcon is the story of Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart), a sly, quick-witted private eye, who’s hired by damsel in distress Ruth Wonderly (Mary Astor) to tail her sister’s husband – who’s presumed dangerous. When his partner turns up dead, Spade is quickly caught up in an eccentric cluster of criminals vying for the same jewel-encrusted statuette.

Now, that’s, of course, an incredibly simplified version of the plot because there’s so many twists and turns in a labyrinth plot that it’d take more than a couple hundred words to put it all into writing. It’s multiple layers of suspense, deceit, mystery and tension, each writhing against one and another to try and get to the surface, create a fascinating, constantly convulting, screenplay, always ten minutes ahead of the audience. Of course, Huston adapted from Dashiell Hammett’s book of the same name, and his devotion to its intricate content is truly impressive. You could learn something, Kubrick! But, at the end of the day, plot is not important here – only one man is.

And that’s Humphrey Bogart. He’s simply brilliant. Originally a labouring actor struggling to break through the scummy surface, Bogart is at an unrivalled best in The Maltese Falcon. Was he ever better than the intangible performance he musters up here? This film meant Casablanca; Casablanca meant The Big Sleep; The Big Sleep meant The Treasure of the Sierra Madre; The Treasure of the Sierra Madre meant The African Queen; and by then, you’ve pretty much pinned yourself as one of the most iconic and glamorous Hollywood stars to ever appear on the Silver Screen. 64 years, 7 months, and 3 weeks after his death, he remains at the forefront of our minds as one of the greatest actors, and his larger-than-life, tantalisingly aloof, cigarette-in-mouth persona was there to match.



Of course, he managed to land the perfect role for himself in Sam Spade – the morally grey, cold private detective, never distracted by such trivialities as love or loyalty. As Succession‘s Logan Roy says: “money wins”. But while money corrupts in Succession,

Do your worst!

I guess the concept didn't work

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Mathematical puns makes me number

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

He lost May

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

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!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges
