The winds were growing chill through the wood, but Robin and his little band did not fear the winter coming on. They had some safe little places among the trees, branch-built shelters dotted about. They lived a life of quiet subsistence. Now, as the trees dropped their leaves and more, they stocked foods for the barren time ahead. Will and Renaud would often take the little ones, Robin's siblings and little cousins, out hunting fallen acorns to prepare for roasting or grinding to meal. Robin and John hunted up a little game, fished, and sought assistance from those people nearby inclined to help outlaws.
"Robin, good friend Robin," John said one day as they idled by the river, "wil't tell me how tha came to be outlaw?"
With a shrug, Robin picked up an acorn from the ground and jostled it about on his palm.
"My father died, and his wife. I had my brother and sister and little orphaned cousin to care for, and in desperation, I hunted as I should not. I nearly was caught, but got away. Word came that I was sought by the law, so I fled here."
"And was there no family who could take the children, to save them a life in the woods?"
"Aye, there was. But I knew the children would not stay. Henry is wild, Eleanor bold, and Much... Well, none but me and Harry and Elen understands him proper."
John nodded.
"A desperate situation," he said.
"Aye, 't is. Still, I do reckon we all are safe for now."
"Mayhap we are. I do think though, Robin..."
John went quiet, and tossed a pebble into the water.
"What think'st tha, John?"
"The winter, Robin. The winter. 'T will be bleak for such young children."
"Friend John, they have known worse."
"Aye?"
"Aye."
"I trust thee, Robin. Tha know'st best."
"Aye. Mayhap I do."

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

Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
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.
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
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
