Good Genes Puns

“I thought they only had two pockets,” I said.

Forever 23

So we were out celebrating my dad’s birthday last night. I said, “You and Mom are healthy and look good for your age. I wish I had your genes!” (I’m adopted.) Without missing a beat, Dad said, “You can have mine if you want, I can barely fit in them anymore!”

I went with my parents to see my uncle who was just transferred to my university's hospital.

The nurse walks in and starts talking to us. Somehow the topic of genetics came up and she said "huh, I guess you got the good genes then!"

I looked down and pulled at my jeans. "I guess they're alright."

She rolled her eyes, smiled, and then let out a laugh. My dad was cracking up in the other corner of the room. I think I made him proud.

My sister was talking to my mom about looks and my dad was in the next room.

Mom: All our kids are good looking.

Sister: Well we did get good genes

And dad shouted from the next room: Damn right you did, Levi's or nothing, only the best for you.

He must have it in his Genes.

My boss and a couple other employees were discussing how I came in even though I was sick and one employee, who is from the Ukraine said "I guess I dont get sick because I ha e better genes to handle the cold weather." My boss replied with "Well what are they? Levis?" We all had a giggle.

Later that very same day I delivered a bag to a post office which must've went out by mistake because it had zero items. When I was leaving the man who received the delivery said to me "Have a good day and thanks for nothin!"

Walking with a coworker talking about my 6 week old son Miles:

Coworker: Seems like Miles is progressing quicker than most at his age. He's got some good genes!

Me: Good khakis, too.

Not my best work, but again: new dad here. You gotta crawl before you can walk!

At the Home Depot today with my wife and son at the register talking to the cashier about to pay. I pull out my Military ID in hopes for a discount and she says of course they honor the discount.

In the process of her honoring the discount she compliments me on how young I look. I'm 29 but she said "You don't look a day over 18. You must have some really good genes!!" I respond, "Oh thanks, these are just Levi's though"

Cringes all around.

So my wife just had a baby and we were talking about who he looks like..

My wife says: "I think he'll look like me, I've got some good genes!"

Father-in-law: "I do too! They're wranglers!"...

Me and my girlfriend went out to eat and spotted my mom and one of her friends whom I hadn't seen since I was a kid so we walked over to say hi...

Mom's friend: "Boy I haven't seen you in forever." "You look just like your daddy."

Mom: "Yeah he's got his dad's good looking genes."

Me: (as I get this confused look on my face and look down) "No mom these are mine, I bought these."

Girlfriend: -_-
