Exhaustment Puns

So I wake up in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs ‘WHAT’S GOIN’ ON?’

Edit: so happy that one of my home-made dad-jokes is so well-received :) thanks, everyone!

Father: It's probably not a good idea to keep the baby up that late....

I think I'll call it a Knight.

I turn the shower on.

The tire swing.

“man, that was tiring”

and then he asked “see what I did there?” A torch has been passed…

He was out of bounce.

After four days of nothing to eat I was delirious from starvation. In my desperation I went hunting for the first thing that looked remotely appetizing. Soon I stumbled upon an indigenous macaque, and with a focused throw of my spear I skewered it in one hit.

Only half the battle was over, though. I had no idea what to do with this corpse. I've cooked easy things like beef, poultry, and pork but never a monkey. Fortunately, a wandering traveler came by, so I asked him how I should prepare it. He said, "That's easy. Just boil the monkey. Nice and fast." Then he left.

While it did sound easy, boiled meat usually doesn't taste good. However, another wandering traveler soon meandered by, so I asked him what to do. He said, "If you're patient and want good flavor, slowly spit roast the monkey over a fire." He then walked away.

That sounded much better, but I was too hungry to wait that long. As fate would have it, a third wandering traveler sauntered by, so I asked for his advice. He said, "If you're pressed for time but still want something delicious, then skin the monkey, render its fat, and deep fry the meat in its own fat." He went on his way.

I had three unique options to pick from, and while I hadn't immediately chosen one I definitely learned something new:

There's no wrong way to eat a rhesus.

I call him Carlos now.

So I gave the Bucharest.

He replied with "To make people ask questions"

But people who run in front of cars get tired.

I said to my wife, "I need my glasses checked. I'm so nearsighted I nearly worked myself to death."

Perplexed, the wife asked, "What's being nearsighted got to do with working yourself to death?"

"I couldn't tell whether the boss was watching me or not, so I had to work the whole time!"

He’s an engine-ear

Now I can finally post my jokes here. Thank you God.

It was too tired

Exhausted

I woke up completely exhausted

I was playing the game Borderlands. There was a mission where Scooter asks you to get various parts for a vehicle.

My son was 5 at the time, and watching me play. Yeah, probably more like his first pun than a dad joke, but still..

Son: Daddy?

Me: Yes?

Son: Did Scooter say he wants you to get him an exhaust pipe?

Me: Yes.

Son: (does exaggerated sigh and slumps in his seat) How exhausting!

Then he grinned and looked intently at me to make sure I got it. I was so proud!

And boy was I exhausted

.... I woke up exhausted.

My first official dad joke.

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger! I’ll be putting this in my little one’s Reddit Scholarship Fund!

e.g. e and g.

EDIT: I've been trying to do one for i and e two, but the trouble is i.e. is exhaustive.

And that's why I wake up exhausted.

One cold winter's morning he was walking along a country road, when he heard a cry for help from a nearby lake.

He turned to see a little girl struggling in the broken ice in the middle of the lake. She'd been skating and had fallen into the icy water. Without a moment's hesitation the tramp ran onto the ice and slipped and slided over to the little girl. He managed to pull her out without breaking the ice further and he carried her back to the road.

He took off his coat and wrapped the little girl in it and began looking for a car to flag down. A few moments later a huge chauffeur-driven limo pulled up, and who stepped out but the little girl's father - the mayor of the nearby town and a multi-millionaire.

"How can I ever thank you sir?" says the father after putting his daughterinto the warmth of the limo.

"Just name your price - I'm a wealthy man."

"Ahem, well ..." stammered the tramp "...eh I'm a little short of cash, perhaps you could help me out"

"Certainly" says the girl's father and he pulls out his wallet.

"Oh dear" says the father, "I don't carry much cash with me, I only have ten dollars - but come home with me and I'll get more from the safe"

"No! No!" says the tramp, "Why ten dollars is more money than I've seen in my whole life - that will be plenty".

"Well, if you insist" says the father - "now what will you do with your money?"

"Oh that's easy" says the tramp "I've not had a rest in 20 years. I think I'll buy myself a holiday"

"Well good luck" says the father, and he gets into the car and signals his chauffeur to drive home.

"Ten Dollars" thinks the tramp, "I'm rich! I'm rich!", and off he goes to the town, to buy himself a holiday.

He finds a travel agent, walks in - much to the disgust of the staff - and goes up to the desk.

"I'll have one holiday please!"

"Ahem, which holiday would sir like" asked the girl at the desk, forcing a smile.

"Oh, any holiday I don't mind" replied the tramp.

"Well how much money does sir have to spend on sir's holiday?"

"Oh lots - anything up to ten dollars"

"TEN DOLLARS!! You'll never get a holiday for ten dollars" says the girl incredulously.

"Oh dear" said the tramp, "and I was so looking forward to a holiday - I'll probably never get another chance - isn't there anything you can do?"

"Well I don't think so sir, but hold on and I'll check"

The girl goes into the back of the shop, and searches in the deepest, dustiest filing drawers she can find. There - to her amazement -

It's a car tune.

I was at a function and a guy at our table was talking about fixing up an old truck. He said he was going to replace the muffler first. I chimed in...

Don't do that first... you'll be too exhausted to do the anything else

" Aaaaarrrr.....she blows."

He’s a catholic converter.

Exhausted.

He took a break, he couldn't bear it.. he was cranky, tired and exhausted.

Just finished an exhausting 31-day march.

They were working around the clock

Og the caveman noticed that after a long period of darkness the sun would rise, traverse across the sky and then sink below the horizon.

Then darkness… until the sun would again rise once again, travel across the sky and sink below the horizon.

Again and again. Over and over.

Og wished to give a name to this event.

He thought long and hard. He tried all sorts of words until his brain hurt and his tongue lolled in his mouth.

He tried every variation of sounds he could think of until he was exhausted.

In the end, utterly exhausted, he just gave up and called it a day.

The tire swing.

I woke up exhausted.

...but they can get wheely tired.

I had a dream I was a muffler last night when I woke up I was so exhausted

I woke up exhausted.

I woke up exhausted 😴

Me: It’s probably not a good idea to keep a baby up that late.

Believe it or not, I woke up exhausted.
