TIL in 1834, the newspaper Le Charivari was ordered to publish a judgement against them, after they printed a caricature of King Louis-Philippe in the shape of a pear. The newspaper did as instructedβbut the text was in the shape of a pear.

Le Mot du Jour: 'charivari'
charivari [Κarivari, Κaribari] n.masc. charivari, noisy serenade held by surprise at night for a newlywed couple who are unconventional in some way, usually because one of them is marrying for the second time (the couple is traditionally expected to invite the serenaders inside and offer them food and drink)
>Quand quelqu'un se marie et sa femme est mort et il se marie encore et lΓ ils donnent un charivari, c'est beaucoup du train. | When someone gets married and his wife is dead and he marries again, then they give him a charivari, it is a lot noise. (Paroisse des Avoyelles)

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it
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!

These aren't dad jokes...
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

I did it, I finally did it. After 4 years and 92 days I went from being a father, to a dad.
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Possibly the greatest Snap Reaction dad joke I've ever told (it even got me a POWERFUL groan and vehement FU from my wife)
Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!"
Her: "What the hell does that mean?!"
Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
