A list of puns related to "Shenanigan"
Anna asked Elsa, "Do you wanna bill 'da snowman?"
"Two Wrights do make an airplane."
"I'm proud of you. You're still grounded though."
Dad: (knocks on neighbors door)
Neighbor's dogs: (going apeshit)
Neighbor: "Shut up! Shut up!"
Dad: "I'm not THAT loud."
Not completely sure this is a dadjoke but it sure got the same reaction. This happened about two years ago.
My wife used to work nights and on Friday and Saturday after she went to work, my then-12yo son and I would often watch a movie together. Sometimes he picked, usually it was a movie from The List, movies I liked when I was his age, things that shaped my sense of humor. I want him to be able to recognize the stupid quotes and references I throw at him. Itβs his cultural education.
So we settled in for Groundhog Day. Iβm a sucker for time travel shenanigans. Finished it up, he enjoyed it, and the next morning he was off to Boy Scout camp for a week.
He came back, weβre all excited to see him, and I tell him I got Groundhog Day 2 from Netflix. Threw it in the DVD player and we got about 20 minutes into before he looked at me and said βthis is just Groundhog Day all over again, isnβt it? There is no Groundhog Day 2.β
So worth an extra week hanging onto the disc.

Me: "Hey dad, just wanted to ask.."
Dad: "Can you speak up please?"
Me: "Hey, I just wanted to a.."
Dad: "Speak up, I can't hear you!"
Me: "I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF..."
Dad: "Haha just kidding, this is my answering machine. Please leave a message."
So this is a bit long, sorry about that.
Zorro and his best bud the Lone Ranger were riding through the desert one day, I forget where they were heading to or where they had come from, but we can safely assume shenanigans of some kind were the driving force.
They have been travelling for most of the day and are starting to get tired. There has been a discussion about making camp for the night, but as things are they have agreed to continue riding for a while longer, till the sun starts to set. Away and off to the west the Lone Ranger spies a plant that seems to have large pink flowers that hang in strips with white stripes running the length of them.
"Zorro, what's that over there?" he asks.
Zorro turns in his saddle and raises his hand to shield his eyes from the sun. "Ah, it looks like a bacon tree, quite common in these parts. Let's ride on, there is a good place an hour from now to set up camp."
The two friends ride on and as the sun is beginning to descend the have stopped and are making camp. As Zorro begins to make a fire he says to the Lone Ranger, "You know, I quite fancy some pork. You ride back to that bacon tree and get some for supper, and I'll finish setting up camp here."
"No problem Zorro, I won't be long" replies the Ranger, jumping back into the saddle and returning the way they came.
Time passes, and the sun begins to get low in the sky. 'Odd', thinks Zorro 'he should be back by now.' Another hour passes and the shadows are growing longer. 'I might have to go investigate, it's not like him to take his time.' More time passes, and, just as Zorro has decided that he must go search for his friend in the dwindling light, he hears the sound of Silver's hooves. Looking into the gathering gloom he sees his friend riding towards him. As the Lone Ranger nears Zorro can see the Lone Ranger is injured, there are cuts and bruises and he has an arrow through his hat.
"What on earth happened, Lone Ranger? Did you make it to the Bacon tree?"
The Lone Ranger dismounts and sighs heavily.
"That weren't no Bacon tree, Zorro. That was an Hambush."
I kept telling her to be quiet so we don't wake them up.... she's 5; still had quite enough of these shenanigans...
Colleague reading menu: "What's a caper?"
Me: "It's halfway between a shenanigan and a scheme."
