I'll give you an example:
In court someone might say that this is "here" say. But they never call something "there" say. It's like the phrase is waiting for a definition. The witness "may" say something or "may" do something. But you know what? You never here them the witness "June" say or "February" do anything at all! The Titanic never called a "September day" and in WW2 there was no special day in October.
C'mon! There I say, I January some writing tomorrow, but if I may January that, it means a totally different thing.

I wouldn't know what you might be talking about. I live in a free country where everyone can say what's in their mind without fear of repercussions....None of this is true unless that's what our overlord the orangeness wants me to think today. Otherwise yeah totally free to say anything that doesn't go against the pedo church and it's big fat orange jesus

The key to a proper dad joke is that it can be thrown out deadpan in a single line, maybe two. You can get by with a little setup of course, but once you're essentially doing a bit, you're monologueing, and that's the opposite of what a dad joke is.
Remember that the classic dad joke is "dad, I'm hungry" "hi hungry, I'm dad"
