The voices told him that if he builds it, they will come.
Just to find out it doesn't rate your vibes?
Why are you shaking? She’s gonna eat me
It was a soundboard
Figured I'd shake things up.
BAH HUMBUG!
Because it Hertz.
Nothing, it just vibrates like brrrrr...
She was telling a story about how her luggage got stopped on its way to Europe because her vibrator that had been acting up turned on in her suitcase.
Halfway out the door, I peeked back in and asked.."oh, was it giving you a hard time?"
... i think it's broken, it only plays gourd vibrations.
Good Vibrations
Him: "My bass is so loud, it's vibrating my negative terminal off of the battery."
Me: "So in other words, the bass is giving you treble?"
He's a dad too so, he laughed.
Years ago I used to use a LexisNexis database of companies that would give corporate information like name, address, and general business description. While most of them were pretty bland, there were a bunch of them with some really cheesy puns, and over a few years I built quite a collection.

Friend: I can't find my phone and it's on vibrate!
Dad: Well you know what they say right?
Friend: No, what?
Dad: If you liked it then you should've put a ring in it.
So I was laying in bed feeding my 2 week old son. My dog was leaning against me and started itching a scratch, causing my son and I to vibrate. In other words, my son had his first milkshake.
...when GF's dad turns to us and says, "remember to turn your phones on stun."
GF replies with, "actually, you should put it on airplane mode, it'll keep it from getting any messages and vibrating."
To this, dad replies, "nah, I don't like that mode; it makes my ears pop."
phone vibrates loudly
Dad: "Oh, pardon me."
Then laughs to himself for about a minute.
My 8th grade English teacher was a huge dad-joker, even though he was like 25 at the time (this was 3 years ago)
He was playing at his desk with a ton of rubber bands, making them taut then flicking them to hear their vibration. I asked him what he was doing. He replied, "Creating the first song to my new band, we call ourselves the Rubber Band."
Not the best, but I certainly groaned.
All romantic, very lovely, stealing kisses here and there.
Her cell phone is just within arm's reach, so I pause the making out and gently place the phone on her forehead, and I whisper…
"Headphones."
And then she vibrate-laughed for like ten minutes.
For a little background my dad enjoys the more vulgar jokes. Anyway, he often jokes about his "company." In fact every time he answers the phone he answers as if it's a call towards his company.
(He answers the phone) "Hello this is the Viiiiibrator Repair Service." Caller - "the what?" Dad - "This is Dick Phitzwell's Vibrator Repair Service, as of right now only the installation department is available."
It's not a joke really cause there's no funny punchline. The caller normally laughs and then carries on with the call.
Another one he likes, "What does an 80 year old woman taste like?
Depends.."
The other day we are at the beach. We're walking back to our vehicle and he's carrying his metal detector in his hands. Random beachgoer - "Did you find anything?" Dad - "No, unfortunately my battery went dead... just like my ex-wife's 'curling iron' under her pillow."
There's many many more. I'll have to catalog them in some form. Let me know if you'd like to hear the life and times of Dick Phitzwell.
So I'm out to dinner with my girlfriend and my family. We're waiting by the outdoor bar with a pager for when our table is ready. After a while of waiting, the following happens:
Girlfriend: Who has the... thingy?" (referring to the pager).
Me: "I have a thingy!"
Brother: Chuckles "No, the thingy... The one that vibrates."
Me: "Wait, yours vibrates?!"
My dad and I started laughing pretty hard at this point.
Dad was working in my town for the weekend and we met up for ice cream. I had walked so he was driving me home and at the red light a car next to us with a bunch of teenagers in it. The music was so loud we had trouble hearing each other in the car and the base was turned up to the point where you could feel your skin vibrate.
Dad just turns to me and shouts-- This song is really good! But I'd really like to hear the treble part too
cue groan
The snacking nut millions around the world is actually pronounced 'amond' and not 'almond'. I found this out recently when visiting family friends who own an amond orchard in CA.
I asked the owner why they are supposed to be called amonds and not almonds and he said it has to do with the harvesting process. See what they do is spread a large tarp out beneath the almond tree. Then they bring in a machine that attaches to the trunk. This machine is very specialized and is designed to create prolonged and intense vibrations, similar to the tool that is used to level/even out concrete. Once the machine is attached to the almond tree it is turned out. The intense vibrations in the trunk lead to the amonds falling out of the tree and onto the tarp. You see, the machine "shook the L out of em!"
My dad, an electrician, just changed a lightbulb. The new bulb lit up and started humming. "Do you know why it's humming?" he asked. I was thinking it had to do with electrical current causing something to vibrate, but before I could answer, dad interjects "Because it doesn't know the words!"
