The laughing stock exchange
I'm perusing r/dadjokes, and find a few gems. I turn to my daughter and say, "Little, this is going to crack you up"
She turns to me and says, "like egg jokes?"
I lost it.

We were driving home the other day from a weekend of camping. Almost the entire drive home is through back roads and Country Roads and little towns... when we one of the many farms we drove by , there was a little river running through the farm and at least 50 cows lying down sunning themselves along the edge of the river.
I turned to my wife and exclaimed " that's a lot of ground beef!"

It was unhinged.
There we were, sitting by the hearth last night.
Man on the television set: "Vote blue, no matter who."
Mother: "Father, do you think he means our darling pooch"?
Blue: Snoring on the rug, fat and lavish
Me: "Mother, you are a sensational one. Outrageous!"
Mother: With her head tilted back, unleashes a hearty guffaw
I thought you might enjoy this roguish exchange as much as mother and I did 😂😂😂
I went full sexist pig, “YOU'RE in charge of cooking around here woman and YOU should do it, because it's YOUR job and I can just wait for my coffee.”
She replied coldly, “No, YOU should do it and besides, it's in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.”
I guffawed, “I can’t believe that, show me!”
So she fetched the Bible and opened to the New Testament and showed me the top of several pages, that it indeed says, “HEBREWS!”
I personally couldn't give a flying fuck.
After winning a live fish at the fair, my dad and his friends go out for dinner.
Dad: Do you serve fish here?
Waiter: Yes.
Dad: Ok great, (holds up fish) he'll have the steak.
My infant has a pretty flat head, when I took him to the doctor's office to get a referral for a helmet to shape his head, they asked what his name was.
I told them, "Well, his name is ___, but we like to call him Phillips to encourage him."
I got some truly authentic guffaws, and my dadjoke confidence rose a bit. I feel like I may be getting the hang of this.
I needed to run to Home Depot just a little while ago, and my eight year old son has been driving my wife insane, so he was sent with me. He asked a hundred questions about what tool does what and why I needed this or that. Despite my distracted supervision, he surely mixed up several loose nuts and bolts.
At the exit of the self checkout line, there's a massive gumball machine that holds massive gumballs. I rarely carry change, so he's out of luck.
Sonny Boy: Dad, can I have a quarter?
Me (checking out): Nope. Don't have one.
Sonny Boy: You don't have any cents?
Me: If I had any cents, I'd have left you at home tonight.
No, he didn't get it, and I'm shocked he set it up so well by saying cents. But, the dude in the line next to me let out a solid guffaw. We made the satisfying, knowing eye contact of two dad joke aficionados. I'm glad someone else heard it.
Here's a scanned excerpt, via Imgur.
Transcript (Important part in boldface):
Extremely pragmatic and frugal in nature -- "a lot of stuff I see people buying is completely nonessential" -- Paul has a soft spot for absolutely any joke, and the more esoteric, the better. Instead of his proper name on his office template, "The Buck Stops Here" appears. The other day, he stopped me in the hallway and asked "What will the people carrying the coffin at my funeral be called?"
I wait.
"Paul bearers", he declares, followed by a knee-slapping hearty guffaw.

Daughter: Hey Daddy, I got this new water bottle and it makes a cool noise
Me: Hey, that's pretty cool, it sounds like a dolphin
Daughter: I know, I'm doing it on porpoise
Me: :rolleyes:
Daughter smirk giggle guffaw
At the checkout at Sear's, this kinda goofy older gentelman was ringing me up and he was walking me through all the prompts on how to slide my card, press OK, etc. He finally jokes to turn to the left then turn to the right.
I tell him, " You know, I used to be addicted to the Hokey Pokey... but I turned myself around." He erupted with a guffaw as if it was the funniest he had heard all day.
Server: Would you like the soup or salad with your entree?
Dad: I don't want the super salad, I want the REGULAR one! (Proceeds to guffaw heartily until the server rolls his/her eyes and walks away)
*Last night, my brother was cutting up the cake said that "Happy Birthday Chris" across it. He cuts between the C & H in Chris and takes the C piece..."
Dad: "Hey! I was going to eat my name piece!"
Me: "Well... I guess its hris now!"
...No one laughed but my dad, but his hearty guffaw made up for it.
As a fellow ginger she came to me today and introduced herself. Not feeling so well. I politely declined her handshake. Explained that the stomach bug had gotten me. She proceeded to say it was nice to meet a fellow ginger, and followed with "you should drink some ginger tea to help with your stomach."
To which I replied, "Can't. That would be cannibalism."
Took her a second. Then a guffaw.
I was grabbing dinner with a bud and we were talking about me heading to his place to do car work - I don't know how to change my oil nor have the space so I'm doing it at my buds place. The following conversation ensues after we verify plans to change my oil:
Bud: Oh, hey, do you know how to rotate your tires properly?
Me: I know you have to take them off then switch positions.
Bud: No, you jack the car up then spin them a bit!
Guffaws were had.
sidebar, to properly rotate tires, front tires go on opposite back tires and back tires go straight forward Front left goes back right, back right goes front right, etc.
I was student observing/shadowing a doctor a few days ago. I went with the nurse into the patient room and she says
"This is perrbear, he's currently shadowing the doctor. Would you mind if he sits in?"
The husband responds "Sure, shadows have never bothered us.. although I've never seen one with a face before!"
I smile as he guffaws to himself.
While driving back home, my sister says that she "saw a family of deer coming back from work." To which I replied with "Oh, where do they work?". Got a solid guffaw and a groan.
"I was thinking about trying out a geography minor."
"Oh really? What makes you want to head in that direction." - Pun one she doesn't acknowledge
"I don't know I just find it interesting. I think I'd like to try human geography."
"Oh really? My cousin told me he took physical geography and said it rocks." - She pauses and stares at me with an unimpressed face, but reluctantly continues
"No I think people geography would be more my style."
"Ya I can see that. You're much more of a people person." - Her eyes flare as it's obvious shes holding back a bellowing guffaw
"We're done here."
"Did you know March Madness is over?"
"Really? I thought there were some games left?"
"Naw it's April Madness now." guffaws
So my boss and I are painting a large room and we tend to talk aimlessly about random stuff when working.
We start talking about what the best way to die would be and the topic comes up about beheading and the different methods throughout the ages.
Me: "Guillotine is kinda cool because your head gets sheared off and your still alive and they hold your head toward the cheering crowds and apparently you can still see them, and even move your eyes.
Him: what about by axe?
me: Beheading by Axe would be painful because not only do you not die right away, but sometimes it takes multiple swings to take your head off. It even gets stuck sometimes.
Him: So the Executioner would be having to pry the Axe back and forth like its stuck in a log?
Me: yeah.
Him: What a pain in the neck.
I heartily bellowed in laughter , guffawed even, and gave him props for it.
Me: Hey dad did you get a haircut?
Dad: I didn't just get one hair cut. I got them all cut.
I didn't really know how to respond to it. When he tells it to other people he either gets a hearty guffaw from whoever he tells it to or an akward hehe
Talking post-pregnancy with coworkers and one states: "They wheeled my ass out in a wheelchair!"
Me: "Where'd they put the rest of your body?"
Other coworker who guffawed: "Classic Dad-Joke right there."
