Hi ! Here's the text I wrote for my 5th outing, part of the interval project :
At the Fabre museum, mental paths come across each other.
In the book ''Montpellier d'hier et d'aujourd'hui'', the writer guides the reader through the museums history - the first path. Mr Fabre gave the place his collection of paintings, and then literally gave it a name.
Author Monique Dur also mentions a list of paintings she likes. I looked for them, but only found one. Probably the paintings have been moved around since the 70s, when her book was written.
Another mental path is the fact that legendary French painter Pierre Soulages has an exhibition on here at the moment. Massive black paintings around which you can walk, in front of which you stand, in which you lose yourself for a while. Their presence is pretty impressive, meditative.
A third path is an exhibition I wasn't aware of : the famous painting ''Bonjour monsieur Courbet'' is shown as you enter a big room. The rest of the artworks are different interpretations of it by artists.
On the way out of the museum, it has become dark as the night has fallen. Green, red, purple lights tint the museums facade. Once again I walk through the city centres alleys, surrounded by the end of a Saturday afternoons atmosphere : people are having drinks at terraces to conclude their day of shopping, while others are having a drink to start their night.
The blindspot is in a courtyard, and I'm in the alley next to it. Along the top of the wall that separates us, leaves tangle towards the floor. A grey metal door in the wall stays firmly closed, there's no way to get any closer.
So part of the blind spots and attractors appear in these places that I don't have access to : courtyards, the inside of buildings, apartments, houses and private offices. Sometimes the place has a name, or gives a clue somewhere around it that allows me to give some kind of signification to it, or at least do some research and continue the outing in a theoretical way. Other times, and it's the case here, there's some kind of mental projection to it.
*I start imagining what the place I can't get into is like : here, the leaves at the top of the wall indicate that the other side of the wall is covered with them. Maybe the courtyard is like a small garden, surrounded by trees and plants, caught between tall houses. In the summer, the people who live on the bottom floor sit around the table in the garden, they eat and drink

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
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!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
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.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "

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.
You take away their little brooms
