This reminds me of a old couple I would work with one day a week years ago. Sue mentioned once "that you know you are getting old when all of your kids are collecting social security". And their kids all were. And it still makes sense to me today

Dad Jokes:
Tesla founder Elon Musk is originally from South Africa, which is strange . You'd think he was from
Mad-at-gas-car.
The CEO of IKEA was just elected Prime Minister of Sweden. The first thing he'll do is to assemble his cabinet.
My girlfriend dressed up as a policewoman and told me I was under arrest on suspicion of being good in bed. After 2 minutes all charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence.
My boss always laughed at my jokes at work but since the pandemic she never laughs at them in Zoom chats. I asked her why doesn't she laugh at them anymore.
She replied, "Because your jokes aren't remotely funny."
I got my daughter a fridge for her birthday. I can't wait to see her face light up when she opens it.
I can't believe I was arrested for impersonating a politician...I was just sitting there doing nothing.
Once upon a time, there lived a king who was only 12 inches tall...He was a terrible king, but he made a great ruler.
I saw an old man fall into a well today! I guess he couldn't see that well.
Can someone please tell me what the lowest rank in the army is? Every time I ask someone, they tell me "it's private."
My doctor told me I was going deaf. The news was hard for me to hear.

The next time someone gives you a line of B.S. or they deserve some - use this line:
"That's bovine scatology"
& to help with the definitions you may need, here are the two important words in this sentence...
Bovine: relating to or affecting cattle (like a bull) AKA: BULL
Scatology: an interest in or preoccupation with excrement and excretion.
wikipedia: In medicine and biology, scatology or coprology is the study of feces. Scatological studies allow one to determine a wide range of biological information about a creature, including its diet, health and diseases such as tapeworms. Wikipedia AKA: SHIT.
translation: "That's bovine scatology" = Bull Shit

A magician was putting on a show at a local auditorium. After performing one particularly awe inspiring trick, a man in the audience called out "Can you tell me how you did that?"
The magician replied "I could, but then I'd have to kill you!"
The man was quiet for a moment and then asked "Well, could you tell my wife?"

On the Red Green show once they were playing The Possum Lodge Word Game, where the contestant has 30 seconds to guess the secret word based on clues given by the host.
Red Green was trying to get Dalton Humphrey to guess the word 'boxers'.
Red: OK, Dalton, this has a ring, two people, and they're fighting like crazy.
Dalton: Marriage.

SPRING HILL, Fla. - A Spring Hill man is accused of calling 911 to have the methamphetamine he recently purchased from a man he met at an area bar tested because he believed it was really bath salts.
According to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, Thomas Eugene Colucci made the emergency call around 7 p.m. on Thursday.
Deputies say Colucci told them that he is an experienced drug user who's used methamphetamine in the past and knew what it should feel like. When it didn’t produce the expected sensation, he decided to call authorities. Colucci then produced two small baggies, each containing a white crystal-like substance, and handed them over to the deputy.
Colucci told deputies he wanted his methamphetamine tested because he did not want other people to purchase "fake" methamphetamine from the person who sold it to him. He wanted deputies to "put the person in trouble" for selling dangerous drugs. However, he was unable to provide a name or any contact info for this individual.
As requested, a deputy performed a field test on a sample of the white crystal-like substance from each of the baggies and both baggies tested positive for methamphetamine, according to HCSO.
Deputies arrested Colucci, who said he was having chest pains after being placed in the back of a patrol vehicle.
After being cleared by a physician at an area hospital Colucci was taken to the Hernando County Detention Center.
He has been charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Security
We have the standard 6 ft. Fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single wire along the top of the fence.
Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26 miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. Long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 feet into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the ground, the better the fence works.
One day I'm mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel push mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached down to grab it, to throw it out of the way.
It seems as though I hadn't remembered to unplug it after all.
Now I'm standing there, I've got the running lawnmower in my right hand and the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow on fire on the cover.
Time stood still.
The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the engine.
It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of shit lawnmower were fighting over who would control my electrical impulses.
Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3 different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel movement, where time is creeping along and you're all leaned back and BAM BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes in between but in reality it was so close together it was like exhaust pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand.
At this point I'm about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can't let go. I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences ... But Dad always had those piece of shit chargers made by International or whoever that were like 9 volts and just kinda tickled.
This one I could not let go of. The 8 foot long ground rod is now accepting signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to just man up and take it, until the lawnmower runs out of gas.
'Damn!,' I think, as I remember I just filled the tank!
Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it. Covered in poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest I think 'Oh God please die ... Pleeeeaze die'. But nooooo, it settles into the rough lumpy cam idle nicely and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go command from its owner's right foot.
So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing in my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not take me that day ... He left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own stupidity had created.
I honestly don't know how I got loose from the wire ... I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned.
There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and then another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was on the ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure and in the resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire.
Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things:
1- Three of my teeth seem to have melted.
2- I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not the left, just the right).
3- Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you might think.
4- My left eye will not open.
5- My right eye will not close.
6- The lawnmower runs like a sum***** now. Seriously! I think our little session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better than new after that.
7- My nuts are still smaller than average yet they are almost a foot long.
8- I can turn on the TV in the game room by farting while thinking of the number 4 (still don't understand this???).
That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things. I appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make sure the fence is unplugged before I mow.
The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check before I mow.

That is a really old one. I think it was one of the first internet jokes I ever read. Proof it's that old, first steps is to write a check. Who still writes checks (or cheques) to pay for an oil change, auto parts and beer??? And step 8, use a 9/16 wrench. Now that's older than the internet!
To modernize it a bit, could add a step of watching YouTube videos on how to do the oil change, oil filters taken apart and compared as well as read a million posts in forums on which oil is the best.

Actually, it can be re-written:
Oil Change instructions for Women:
1) Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last oil change.
2) Wait an hour because they're swamped and short staffed.
3) Get a free coffee.
4) The tech says you're due for a new air cabin filter and wipers. You agree and he replaces them.
5) 60 minutes later, pay with credit card.
6) Driving down the highway, you get low oil pressure messages, lights go on and blow up the engine due to Jiffy Lube (insert mistake here) and losing all the oil.
7) Wait 3 hours for the tow truck because they are swamped and short staffed.
8) Lose job because you're late again.

Reminds me when I once asked my youngest (mechanically declined) son if he had changed his oil recently, he replied, " I looked at the oil gauge and it was above half, so I'm good".
First time I read that, I thought.. Well at least he checked his oil level..
Read it again today and realized he said gauge.. Your screwed!
