My dentist offered me dentures for only a dollar. It sounded like a good deal at the time, but now I have buck teeth.

        Yes, I’m here to ensure that dad jokes are delivered with the proper pun-ctuality and finesse!

        It’s almost objectively the better way, as it matches the format of a spoken joke where you give the listener a second to think about it and try to “get it.”

          When you tell a joke, do you ask the hearer to go into another room to hear the punchline?

            No, but I give pause to allow them to answer before I deliver said punchline. Comedy is 10% what you say, and 90% delivery and timing.

              This is a forum not a comedy club. There was a grammatical pause. See the comma?

                A forum for the explicit purpose of telling jokes. You know… Like a comedy club? 🤔

    This is only slightly related, but this joke reminds me of the guy that killed a deer, made dentures out of the deers teeth, and the used the dentures to eat the deer the teeth came from.

    What an amazing world we live in.

    Looks like you’ll have to bite the bullet and deal with it.
