The Moopets
He went ham
A student asked "what if you're ugly?'
As an old dad, I was befuddled for a moment before asking "did you just tell a dad joke?" She grinned, and I commissioned her as a dad on the spot.
These days it involves a lot of networking
The Pursuit of Slappiness
My wife got the question: "Which city is NOT located in Egypt - Cairo, Dakar, Rosetta?"
Wife: "Where is Dakar?"
Dad: "In the garage."
Mom: "He's going so slow, why don't they just pull in front of him?"
Me: "if it's grand theft auto they might be worried he's armed."
Dad: "Well of course he's armed."
Me: "How can you be sure?"
Dad: "Well he can't drive with no arms!"
The question was something like: "What was the name of the soap opera that featured an episode about a woman who had breast cancer and had to get a mastectomy?"
His answer: "The Young and the Breastless"
Still a classic dad joke.
Playing Trivial Pursuit with my dad, best friend and a couple others when my dad asks my friend the question (paraphrasing here, was a long time ago), "What human organ is flexible, washable, and replaces itself continually?" The answer was skin but my friend got it wrong. Dad doesn't miss a beat and says, "It was probably the "washable" that threw you off."
I will find you. You have my Word!
It was a trivial pursuit.
Dunno why the she had to throw shade on my pursuit...
Dear dad,

Dear Susie,
I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy.
Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.

Hello, if you could please make a funny pun so I could get extra credit for the title of my essay, that would be great.
Topic: Pursuit of Knowledge- Frankenstein.
It was a really trivial pursuit.
Friend: I think you look like a banana.
Son: I'm not a banana!
Me: I don't know, kid. I think you have appeal.
Cue groans from the wives and high fives for the dads.
I was Ruthless in my pursuit.
While this news undoubtedly sucks, I'm trying to take it in stride and em-brace it nonetheless! The recovery will give me the opportunitknee to improve my skills as a sideline player and some extra downtime to expand my abilities in programming and graphic design. I plan to continue at-tendon practices and other events as normal though! So many teammates, past and present, have already been incredibly supportive and reached out to help me; its certainly been a joint effort, and I can't thank you all enough for that. In hindsight, I wouldn't change akneething about attending USA U24 tryouts as tenacity, perserverance, and sacrifice are often the names of the game in pursuit of distant dreams. Ultimately, I guess some things are just liga-meant to be!
Okay so I get off at 4:00 and I didn't waste any time leaving the office. Shut down my computer, grabbed my keys, and I was on the road by 4:05. It had been a pretty crazy day and I was ready to get home.
As I'm driving home I notice I'm running on Empty. I probably could have made it home but I was really craving a Coca Cola so I decide to stop at the nearest gas station.
Anyways I'm filling my tank I see an old lady a few gas pumps away putting gas in her old beat up station wagon but didn't really think anything of it and just continued to enjoy my icey cold Coca Cola.
Next thing I know I see this old lady holding the gas pump nozzle spewing gas everywhere. I guess she had taken the nozzle out of the vehicle w out disengaging the automatic trigger or whatever but it went EVERYWHERE. Her car, her arms, the ground, all over the place and by the time she got that thing to stop spraying there was at least a gallon of gas everywhere.
So I immediately run over to see if she's okay and she smells like straight up gas. I gave her napkins to dry off her hands and to clean what gas was spilled on the car. She said she was okay and thanked me for my help so I leave and head home.
So now I'm a few blocks from home, driving over the last hill right before my next turn and all of a sudden, almost out of nowhere, she comes flyin past me in that same old beat up station wagon with, I shit you not, her arm CAUGHT ON FIRE. And as if that's not bad enough there are two cops right behind her in hot pursuit. So while I'm freaking out trying to pull over to the side she zooms past so fast I barely catch a glimpse of her frantically flailing her arm out the window as they all go over the hill.
At that point couldn't believe what I was seeing it was just too crazy. So I quickly get back on the road and make my way over the hill and I spot her. She's pulled over in the emergency lane. I see the same old lady being handcuffed and put in the back of the squad car.
Yeah turns out she was arrested for waiving a fire arm in public.

It's a Trivial Pursuit.
Trivella pursuit
We were playing trivial pursuit when I was younger, and he gets a question.
"What does a Peacock mate with?"
He looks around the room, going a bit red..
"I dunno, it's beak?!!"
