Harder Than Puns

Selling a vacuum in space.

Almost nothing wood work.

Ten ants.

Pulp Friction

First of all, you have to throw them with both hands.

You need to remember the worms and all the electronics for the kids. You know, the ol' bait and Switch.

>"Say dad, why are you wearing a shirt with a bunch of holes in it?" I ask him one morning.

>"Because Sunday is holy day," he responds.

I said "So it's a well gnome garden".

I laughed harder than he did.

Nobody is taking it harder than my grandma.

It’s one of those you push in the ground on your lawn. When I put it in (that’s what she said), I remembered that flags are being flown at half mast.

So I pushed it in a little farther.

No one laughed harder about that than I did at the time and I just wanted to share with you all.

The approval rating of dad jokes in my household has fallen farther and harder than Hans off Nakatomi in my household of late. Not to be a big baby, but it's been really disheartening for me.

We all know our dad jokes can get tiring and annoying; that's part of the point. True masters carefully toe the line between just enough and too much, and to great effect. We do it because we genuinely want to bring joy to those around us with almost child-like mirth.

Not be able to share that with my family lately has been disappointing.

But coming to this sub warms my heart. So thank you to all of you here.

I am very grateful. #obligatoryset-up;)

Was giving tours of various buildings at my university this morning, one of the rotations was our Nursing building.

A mom asked “Is this Nursing school harder to get into than others?”

Looking confused, I opened and closed the door a little bit before saying “Nah, the door’s not that heavy”

Literally all the dads laughed while the moms and their children collectively groaned.

Turns they’re a lot harder to catch than cows

When we began discussing what to dine on this evening, she says to me, "How about we have something for dinner that starts with a 'p' and ends with an 'a' and isn't pasta?"

I roll my eyes and groan animatedly.

"There is no way a single pea is going to feed all three of us!"

^^She ^^laughed ^^harder ^^at ^^that ^^than ^^any ^^of ^^my ^^previous ^^corny ^^jibes, ^^so ^^I ^^thought ^^I'd ^^share...

and said that he wanted to dress up as Ben 10. He reminded me however that Ben 10 is nothing without his watch and he must have that accessory.

Without missing a beat, I asked him, "Why, is he Ben-nine without it?"

I laughed way harder at this than he did. Still worth it.

"Dad, it's not a flock of cows."

"OK, a pride of cows then"

"Not that either, why are you so lame?"

"I dunno, a gaggle of cows?"

"Dad, it's a herd of cows. Herd of cows!"

"Course I've heard of cows. Look at that gaggle over there"

Was much harder work than expected.

the Japanese Olympic Track and field team, in typical Asian make-every-thing-harder-to-do-than-it-has-to-be fashion have announced that hey are sticking by their regimen of only using malformed, decade-and-a-half old, equipment rigged to pop out of the course unexpectedly in order to secure their hopes of Olympic glory. While this may seem counter intuitive, Kadauo Osakamizu, a analyst for the team claims there is actually a historic cultural precedent for the odd exercises. In a quote, Mr. Osakamizu insists that the idea is that "if the team can excel with such sub-par materials, executing wins when the equipment is good should be of little concern."

So it seems that at least for the foreseeable future, Japan will be pinning their hopes on Teenage, Mutant, Ninja Hurdles.

My husband and I were discussing some of my ex-boyfriends, and he noticed that I only went out with mopey guys. So he said, "I know what your favorite book is... Mopey Dick." I laughed way harder than I should have.

Yesterday I was at a Thai Buddhist temple in my city. The secondary meditation instructor was just chatting with the group a bit before things began. He was explaining to me that on Sundays the temple has language classes. Someone else asked if he spoke Thai, he then explained to us that he didn't complete all the courses and considers himself.......A Thai School Drop out.

I laughed so much harder than I should have at this, mainly because I had been trying to think of some dadjokes earlier that day. Universe provided.

At cracker barrel these two old men are enjoying their meal and I start chatting with them trying to be friendly server. Then one of them says to me "Do you like bets?" I responded saying i dont bet much but im interested in one. He bets me "i bet i know where you got your shoes" thinking theres no way he could know that i take him up on it. He says "Alright, you got your shoes right here in cracker barrel on your feet!" I laughed a lot harder than i should have and gave the man his dollar.

My 2 year old daughter was playing with a toy horse and wrapping a pink ribbon around it. It was starting to look like a bondage scene so I turned to my wife and said: "Look honey, 50 shades of neigh". She shook her head harder than Michael J. Fox.

"Harder than a honeymoon dick"

This was to my younger sister.

Me: "what are you reading?"

Her: she holds up her book and the spine says "Binge"

Me: "So you're Binge reading?"

And she rolled her eyes harder than I've ever seen.

We were screwing screws into a table because we had brought part of it home and refinished it. We couldn't find some of the screws until later and so he said, "that's screwy."

He didn't even realize it but I laughed harder than I should have.

So I was looking in the fridge and my dad was sitting at the table

Dad: "What are you up to"

Me: "Nothing...."

Dad: "aren't you up to 5'7? "

I laughed so much harder than I should have

One summer my dad who was a jack of all trades construction worker type, my cousin that's an electrician and my dad's uncle who had Parkinson's disease were all working on an electrical project at my Uncles house. Replacing a power meter is pretty dangerous if the power is not shut off and if you touch the wrong thing, it could very easily kill you.

So here these three men are. My electrician cousin says "Okay, don't friggin touch me. I gotta slide this washer on here and if I touch the sides, I'll fry." So as he's doing this, he's shaking because he's nervous. Eventually he stops to take a breather and my uncle says "Give me that thing." To which my dad responds "Are you crazy? This is not a job for Parkinson's"

My uncle gets kinda bummed and says something about not being able to do anything anymore and my dad tries to cheer him up by saying "Oh come on, there are plenty jobs you can have, Rick".

My uncle says "Yea, like what?"

My dad responds "I dunno... Sifting."

My uncle laughed harder than I had seen him laugh in a long time.

So I was picking up my girlfriend from class. (We live in South Florida so they alway have these vacuum trucks sucking out the debris in sewer drains to keep them clear when random tsunamis happen for 3.2 seconds at a time.) She looks at the truck and says "I would hate that job!" I responded with... "Yeah, it must suck." I think I laughed harder than she did but it made my day.

"What day is the Fourth if July on?" "It's on a.... Saturday." "No, it's not." "Yes it is. It's a week from tomorrow." "No it's not, it's on the fourth!"

I probably laughed a lot harder than I should have at it, but I'm proud of him.

Today at work, an older woman I work with was talking to me, and called me by my name. Now, her thing is that she comes up with nicknames for everyone that works there. So I tell her, "No, you can't call me by my name, my nickname is Josheroon. You have to be consistent." Her response was something along the lines of "Well you never gave me a nickname that sticks!"

Five minutes pass as I go back to ringing up customers. When the store gets quiet and I have a little free time, I take a piece of tape and write NICKNAME in Sharpie. Run outside, go up to her and stick it proudly on her arm. "Now you have a nickname that sticks!"

Watching her face turn from confusion to slight laughter, and my other co-worker shaking his head caused me to burst out in laughter harder than I have at that job in a long time.

I was on as flight the other day. And I sat in the wrong seat 11b instead of 10b. A man came up to me and said sorry but I think your in my seat. After I apologised he said, don't apologise to me you got a free upgrade to the front of the plane. I laughed harder than I should have .

I just got the dcs UH-1H and was talking about it with my dad.

"This simulator is intense. It's harder to fly than I thought."

"Yea I hear helicopters are hard to fly. It must be challenging if you have to stay in tents."
