Odds and Ends
That's before our time: Depressingly, no one knew that "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" was a 1966 solo hit for Cher.
Ken's Korner: He opened by talking about how, as with all Jeopardy! champs, Amy's hold on the championship is "tenuous". One of these days he will be proven correct. This was not that day.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is film noir? DD2 - Who is Common? DD3 - Who was Lady Bird Johnson? FJ - Who was Thor Heyerdahl?
It will soon be 25 years since the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. In a shameless effort to promote our new podcast A NORMAL FAMILY: THE JONBENET RAMSEY CASE REVISITED, we have put together a list of false statements made by the Ramseys over the years.
In addition to the statements listed here, the Ramseys have said many things over the years which seem highly implausible, though are technically impossible to verify one way or the other, e.g. Patsy claiming not to recognize her own handwriting. I have not included those in this list, except when a credible eyewitness has testified that the statement is conclusively false.
>Interviewer: Was she hidden in any way? >John: (shaking his head) No. (01/01/1997)
Jonbenet’s body was hidden under a blanket in a pitch-dark storage room in the basement behind a latched door. Several police officers, John Ramsey, and a family friend, had all been in the basement that morning and none of them had noticed the body. She was hidden.
>John: “The [basement] window stands wide open” (The Other Side of Suffering, 2012)
In 1997 John said he had gone to the basement alone sometime on the morning of December 26th, found the window open, and closed it. He said the window was open “about an eighth of an inch” when he went down there. In 1998 he said it was open “an inch, maybe less” and “cracked and open a little bit”. In 2001 he called it a “partially opened window” and by 2012 he was saying it was “wide open”. John now consistently gives the public the impression there was a wide open window in the basement. u/cottonstarr has documented the history of John’s changing statements on the basement window.
>Interviewer: What were you wearing, Patsy [to the Whites' party on Christmas night], a red turtleneck and black… >Patsy: Velvet pants. And I have a Christmas sweater I was wearing. >Interviewer: And that was over the turtleneck? >Patsy: Yeah.
Photographs taken at the party by Fleet White revealed Patsy was not wearing a Christmas sweater, she was actually wearing a black and red checked jacket. Patsy had not handed that jacket over to police. When she final

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.
Thank you to the original poster SMA.

FLEET WHITE on the night of RAMSEY PARTY on December 23
samarkandy Nov 19, 2020 · Edited Relatives of Fleet and Priscilla White who they brought to the Ramsey Christmas Party on December 23
Everyone has heard of Fleet and Priscilla White, although not so much about their Californian guests. Schiller wrote about them and their attendance at the December 23 Ramsey party in PMPT:
White told the detectives that he and his wife, Priscilla, had invited relatives and friends from California to join them for the holidays. On December 22, Heather Cox, Priscilla’s niece, and her husband, Bill, and the Whites had driven five hours to Aspen and spent the night. The next day they returned to Boulder, and the Whites attended the Ramseys’ Christmas party with Priscilla’s parents. Jon- Benét had hung up the guests’ coats, White said.There were gingerbread houses for each family to decorate with gum- drops.
The strange misdial of 911 that Fleet says he made during the Ramsey Christmas Party on December 23
During the December 23 party there was an emergency 911 call made from the Ramsey home. When an officer attended the house in response to the call Susan Stine, one of the guests told the officer that the call had been a mistake, there was no emergency so the officer left.
911 was misdial Jill Tucker Daily Times-Call with wire reports Jan 1 1997
BOULDER -- A misdialed long-distance call was the source of a 911 report from the Ramsey home three days before 6-year-old JonBenet was killed. Information regarding the 911 call surfaced this week, but there was no police report to identify why someone dialed the emergency number.
A news release Friday, however, identified the 6:47 p.m. call as a dialing error by someone present during the Ramseys ' Christmas party on Dec. 23. The caller apparently hung up before speaking to a dispatcher and a call back to the home resulted in an answer from the voice mail system. An officer was dispatched to the house six minutes later to ensure there was no emergency. No report was made on the incident.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
They were cooked in Greece.
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!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
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.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
