This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)
> Anti-corruption advocates are demanding the Sri Lankan government take action after Pandora Papers exposed the hidden wealth of a former government official and a businessman tied to the ruling Rajapaksa family.
> Activists from Transparency International Sri Lanka and others have made a united call for an investigation into the financial dealings of Nirupama Rajapaksa, a former deputy minister, and her husband, Thirukumar Nadesan.
> Now in his 80s, Paskaraligam also known as "Paski" was more powerful than any minister during President Ranasinghe Premadasa's government between 1988 and 1993, according to The Sunday Times, ICIJ's partner in Sri Lanka.
> "The biggest revelation in the Pandora Papers is the sheer magnitude of the facilitation architecture for capital flight," a spokesperson for Transparency International Sri Lanka told ICIJ. The investigation "Comes at a time when the economy is doing very badly, resulting in severe hardships to the citizens," the spokesperson said.
> "We are acutely conscious that the actual amounts of wealth hidden offshore would be so much more than this - and it remains a massive problem for developing nations such as Sri Lanka," the Transparency International Sri Lanka spokesperson said.
> "The President referring the Pandora Papers to the Bribery and Corruption Commission and asking them to investigate the Sri Lankan involvement is tantamount to a bad joke," says an editorial by the Sunday Times.

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!
They were cooked in Greece.
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 ๐
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
BamBOO!

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
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.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?

When I got home, they were still there.

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
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.
