I'm sleep deprived.
Hi, sleep deprived. I'm dad! (See how that works?)
Morning dad! I thought you passed away! How have you been all these years?
"oh, ya know, can't complain."
we're not allowed to.
I wouldn't know what you might be talking about. I live in a free country where everyone can say what's in their mind without fear of repercussions....None of this is true unless that's what our overlord the orangeness wants me to think today. Otherwise yeah totally free to say anything that doesn't go against the pedo church and it's big fat orange jesus
The key to a proper dad joke is that it can be thrown out deadpan in a single line, maybe two. You can get by with a little setup of course, but once you're essentially doing a bit, you're monologueing, and that's the opposite of what a dad joke is.
Remember that the classic dad joke is "dad, I'm hungry" "hi hungry, I'm dad"
Not true! I play on words that sound the seem all time and my kids lube it!
So they don't, but that's what dads do.
Fair.
You should have gone for seesay, smellsay, tastesay or feelsay while still correctly spelling hearsay.
That's for the well edumacated. Me, I'm just a guy telling you about here say.
The fact that this post is so downvoted is funny in it's own way
