Wow, the ancient civilizations were just like us after all

They weren't all so refined and classy, you know. That's why we talk about the "Wisdom of the ain't-gents."

I'll give you a point for that one

II’m sure you’re joking, but it’s probably worth pointing out that very little about our society has changed in the last hundred years or so.

Artesian, hand-crafted joke left on countertop for wife to discover.

Is that a dad joke or a father jape?

Is that wood or clay?

They're clothes pins, for hanging your wet laundry on a clothes line to dry.

Hence, "without clothes"

Omg

The 40s apparently had dad jokes grandfathered into their dad jokes.
