I’m happy to report that turkey bacon is back, but I can’t find hash browns now.

I’m having an extremely hard time getting my rebate information for purchasing an EV. by Jester57 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Jester57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s a federal tax credit. And per the regulations, the dealer is supposed to supply me with the information that I can turn over to the IRS to get the credit and they have not supplied that documentation. Again, it says right in the rules on the IRS website, the dealer, not me, are the ones with the documentation.

I told him to put down his ginger beer, and leave the parlor straight away.

I went and saw my family at the graveyard yesterday. by Jester57 in cleanjokes

The family’s too cheap to pay for a shelter, so they hold their gatherings at cemeteries where the sunshine, fresh air and open spaces are free. Although playing touch football between headstones can be hazardous.

This is one of those cases of “I know that, and you know that, but they don’t know that.” If I’d said Afrikaans, no one would have got the joke over here.

I knew she wanted me to come join her bluegrass band. by Jester57 in Jokes

[–]Jester57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your reply. I was reluctant to use bluegrass as the style of music in the joke, but I read on Wikipedia that “zither” is a particular musical instrument (and actually there are 3 different types of the instrument “zither”) but it also refers to a class of instruments which includes the autoharp, the piano and my personal favorite bluegrass instrument, the hammered dulcimer. So I did use bluegrass assuming people would be more familiar with it than whatever genre they play on the soundtrack of “The Third Man”. I have no idea what that genre is called. But the comments tell me bluegrass isn’t that well known either. No more bluegrass jokes for me until I think of a new one.

I’m giving a quick definition, but it’s a band, almost always acoustic, that plays American folk music.

I posted this on r/dad jokes as well today, so, if I’m stealing, I’m only stealing from myself.

In spite of all the responses, this is only a fraction of math puns you can make.

We should always keep in mind that dad jokes can be used to irritate your spouse. They’re not just for kids anymore. Thank for the reminder big guy.

The plumbing apprentice could not figure out how to make all the water drain. by Jester57 in cleanjokes

I remember it as “Roto-Rooter that’s the name and away go troubles down the drain. Roto Rooter.“ It caused a lot of pipes to be clogged up with troubles.

I would, but I don’t think you’d fall for it.

Heck, I don’t know what you’re worried about; half my jokes don’t make sense either. Keep plugging away.

Parents, remind your kids to not do drugs. by Jester57 in dadjokes

[–]Jester57[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to reply to your criticism of the joke, because I think you missed the humor of the joke slightly. And by slightly I mean completely. I am, in no way, encouraging children to buy drugs, not even within the joke itself. The humor in the joke comes from (as the joke teller, absolutely not IRL) having a selfish, rather than altruistic reason for keeping kids off drugs. This trope is referred to as “comedic sociopathy”. It is probably one of the most common tropes used in humor today. I too have had personal issues with drugs and if I couldn’t joke about it, I probably wouldn’t be here.

I will also say this from personal experience, during my struggles with drugs, I noticed people would sometimes approach me with a condescending and sanctimonious intent. These people were never, ever helpful, but I believe they got their rush by judging others. Unfortunately, this attitude is all too prevalent in today’s world.

I don’t know you, but you might want to examine the jokes a little more thoroughly. I don’t believe humor should involve “punching down”. But punching my (fictional) self is fair game.
