Dad JokesWe want to know the lame jokes your Dad makes. E.g. On your mum putting the roast on the table, "All for me? What are you going to eat?" On writing you a cheque for £350, "Three pound fifty? That's cheap." - What are the frankly rubbish gags your dad cracks again and again? WARNING: If you become a dad you'll be doing this stuff too.

Winnie-the-pooh quotesMuch as I admire the work of A.A.Milne, having the same lines quoted at you continually from the age of 3 to 33 (and no doubt beyond) does make it lose it's appeal somewhat.
There's a particular line, used whenever anyone opens a present at christmas or birthdays. From a tale about Eeyore's birthday when Pooh gives him an empty honeypot and Piglet gives him a burst balloon. Eeyore finds simple pleasure in his own way by putting the balloon in the pot and taking it out again saying "it goes in and out like anything".
Now everytime I have ever opened a present in front of my dad and thank the giver for the wonderful socks or whatever, he will, without fail, say "it goes in and out like anything".
May have been amusing once.
Hmmm, looking back at what I've written, I find it faintly disturbing...
