Dad: Someone should immediately turn that kid around.

Appetite-y.

Dad: Why isn’t anybody turning the 5th kid around?

"Did Jay get mad?"

"What dad?"

"Most people don't like being mocked so I wonder if Jay got mad."

Dad: How hot is Katniss? Me: Yeah she's beautiful. Dad: I hear she's...catching fire.

Let the hunger games begin

A young woman was rummaging through her grandmother’s belongings, and she came across a mysterious lamp. Upon rubbing the lamp, Rick Astley appeared before her and said, “I will give you three wishes.”

She thought for a moment and said, “For my first wish I would like to end world hunger.” “An admirable request. Consider it granted!” Rick said.

“For my second wish, I would like world peace.” “Ah, this is a very difficult request, but it has been done. And for your final request?”

She thought for a moment and decided to make this a selfish wish. “As a movie buff, I would like a copy of every movie in the world in my own private collection.” The genie a bit taken back . . . . paused and said, “This I cannot do . . .” “Why!?” The women exclaimed. “ You can fix world hunger and end all wars, but you cannot complete this simple task?!” The Genie looked away and said, “I can, but your collection will not be complete . . . you see . . . I’m never gunna give you Up!”

Me: “I’m not very hungry. I just want something easy.”

Server: “...Maybe the chicken strips for $6?”

Me: “Maybe it does, but that doesn’t help me with my hunger.”

Random Dad across the restaurant: “GOOD ONE!”

Ya know that mouthwatering hunger you get when you smell the meat cooking on the BBQ. I wonder if vegetarians get the same feeling when they mow the lawn.

Discussing The Hunger Games, our teenage daughter asked, "Wasn't Katniss named after a root?" My ribald reply: "All babies get named after a root."

Last night, my family came to pick me up from work after the kids' swim lessons. They were tired, hungry, grumpy, hungry, and hungry on the drive home.

My 6 year old: "Ugh... I'm going to die..."

Me: "You're right; we're all going to die. What are you going to die of?"

6yo: "Hunger and your jokes."

Me: "Well, I hope my jokes get you first. That sounds like a better way to go."

You heard it here first, folks. Dad jokes can potentially kill faster than starvation. Wield them carefully.

My brother after suggesting we go to watch The Hunger Games: we might as well go for dinner tonight.

We were watching the newest Hunger Games movie a couple of weekends ago. Throughout the film she was (very quietly) whispering interesting things that were in the books but not the film.

There is a certain part where a character goes back for a cat.

She leans over and I think she was going to tell me another interesting things about the scene. She whispered a little louder than the other times, "You've gotta be kitten me right meow!"

You could hear the slight chuckle from the people in front of us and I had to stifle my laughter. I probably shouldn't find it that funny, but I love good timing and a corny joke.
