#1 Dad

[Interkarma]

This is a brilliant concept. Would play.

[MasonFace]

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I think I may continue to work on this concept.

Oh noooooooo! But, but, but....I get enough dad jokes from my former high school chemistry teacher.

Such great gems as, " I once saw a dwarf climbing down a prison wall. I thought to myself, that's a little condescending."

Or "I'm a big fan of wind turbines. The concept really blew me away."


.... I'll see myself out now.

[MasonFace]

Myself, I've big into malaphors where you either mix up two idioms or just get it wrong like a malapropism.

Some of my favorites are:

• "Rome wasn't built during the day."
• "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it."
• "It's five o'clock sometimes."
• "She smokes like a fish."
• "He drinks like a chimney."

I like throwing them out in conversation straight faced just to see if anyone notices. I think most people are used to hearing these phrases so often that they just hear the correct version and they don't even notice, but I have fun with it nonetheless.

[ByteMixer]

Hah, yeah I can see that.

Now take it a step further and apply the malaphor to adages.

"A penny saved is a lesson learned."

[MasonFace]

Ooooh. I like that one.

I will add that to my repertoire!
