From Not Always Right ; Dad Jokes: The Game

A customer comes up to my teller counter with a withdrawal slip. He is with his teenage son.

Me: “So, you’re withdrawing $500, sir?”

Customer: “Yes. Sadly, my account is suffering from withdrawal symptoms today!”

The teenage son groans.

Teenager: “Daaaad! Stop being embarrassing!”

Customer: “Hey! If I’m using this to buy you a PS5, I reserve the right to have my pun!”

The teenager looks at me as if I can help him.

Me: “Dude, you’re getting a PS5. I’d let him dance in front of my class to get one of those!”

Customer: “Oooh, now there’s an idea!”

Teenager: Trying not to smile “Nooooo!”

They were rare, but they happened. Cherish ’em!

Hey, what’s wrong with dad jokes!

3 0f 5 stars. Spit take, but no choking or green energy drink coming out of the nose.

Make he cleans up his spit takes, Sergio.

Or-r-r-r…maybe you could refrain from sipping until after the joke…

Hey Baldo, do your impression of a soda fountain.

Dad told stories. We could always tell it was going to be good because he’d start laughing so hard in about the middle that we would all start laughing before he ever got to the end. I miss him every day.

How did that not end up drenching Papi?

My dad was a great raconteur known for telling jokes and other stories. I am more like him than my mom and more than my sisters are like dad. Sometimes I feel like I am channeling him. My husband will say to me “that was something your dad would say/do.”
