IF THIS IS ANYONE OTHER THAN MY OWN DAD, YOU'RE STEALING MY BIT.
Actually, it's not my bit because Jackson is still having pronoun trouble and is probably too literal-minded for dad jokes. But it would be...
Worse, my dad was fond less of dad jokes than questionable ethnic humour, so I really have no claim to that gag.
True story: early in our relationship, I described something as a Dad Joke, and Ali had no idea what that was. HER FATHER DOESN'T TELL JOKES.
As I pointed out, she has a Father. He's dignified, responsible, hard working, and emotionally distant. He watches westerns and prefers them to be historically accurate.
I have a Dad. He watches John Belushi and Chevy Chase movies, listens to Willie Nelson, and tells terrible jokes.

My understanding of the entertainment biz has taught me that all Jews are quite funny. Something doesn't add up here.

Mine was much closer to Ali's. He enjoyed a laugh, but his tastes were, as I said, jokes about Ukrainians and Ollie and Lena (Norwegian jokes). Plus he liked old-time country music. But "dignified, responsible, hard working, and emotionally distant" describes him fairly well.

So we've established that Doc was vomiting uncontrollably due to his anniversary. Now who's the narc???

Julie? Joe? maybe it's you? where have you been hiding?
Look, there comes a time...specifically, when the news is all full of headless torsos turning up in freezers during the full moon...where you just have to lay low for a bit and take some "me time", that's all. I'm not the one being questioned here. I just want to know who the narc is. This interview is over unless you come back with a warrant!

Personal experience says that tolerance for that fades around the second decade.
