Offhandedly Puns

I deliver pizza for a living and I showed up at the door, as is my wont, with one hand holding the pizza bag and the other holding the receipt. On opening the door, I greeted the pater familia and told him the amount I was owed. He gave me the money and I handed him the receipt so I could free up my hands to pull the pizza out of the bag, saying offhandedly, "Here you go," indicating the receipt. The patriarch then looked at the menu bemusedly and remarked, "Hmm, seems a little light." It took me a little to figure out the joke was supposed to be that he thought the menu accompanying the receipt was the entire delivery.

On noticing my delayed reaction, the daughter of the house proceeded to put her hand to her face in a manner not unlike our dear Snoo at the top of this page. I've been delivering for two years now--that was easily the lamest, most Dad-like joke I have ever come across.

A little boy went into a shoemaker's shop and asked the shoemaker:

"What are shoes made of?"

The shoemaker replies offhandedly "Hide."

Little boy goes "What?"

Shoemaker repeats "Hide."

Little boy goes "What?"

Shoemaker firmly says "Hide."

Little boy goes "What?"

Shoemaker yells "HIDE, HIDE! THE COW'S OUTSIDE!"

Little boy says "I don't care, I'm not afraid of any cow."

So this is my dad's favorite joke of all time. ALL time. It went from "I don't get it" to "I get it, heh" to "okay this isn't funny" to "haha it's actually pretty funny" over the years. I'm not sure where I land on it currently, there you have it. The ultimate dad joke.
