Awww...happy goofball day, Soul sister!! The joke IS in their responses. Because in their response, they are saying, "yes, we see you." XO

Lorraine Evanoff, I am stuck between, "Yes, Oui, Si, Ja" and the family coat of arms.

Thanks so much for humor and sharing of family heritage.

Lorraine Evanoff: Well, you have it vertically assembled. At first, I was puzzled. Then I read it faster and faster and then . . . Voila! The light turned on.

That IS a funny one!

Knee slappers, every one. And yes to the one about the affirmatives from the 4 nations. When you think about it, just visualizing the light bulb going off in paterfamilias' heads to come up with these Dad Jokes. Enlightening. (Oof.)

"Knee slappers" is perfection for this subject, Carol!!👏🏻🤣

Yes, that dad joke is absolute genius now that I get it, thanks to you guys.

Happy Father's Day to you and your family💙🥰

I just read your post "Manifest Treason." Thank you for bringing it to my attention. You did a great job, hitting all the notes, all the issues.

I apologize for not upgrading to your substack. I live on Social Security, Medicare and now Medicaid while trying to get a writing profession up and running. I am grateful that you still open your comment section to conversation.

So far, I'm a bit slow on posting. I spend time researching issues that I want to write about. It looks to me like I come up with a post about every 2 weeks although I do have some projects in the bin that I intend to post. So...if you upgrade, I will try to make it more worth your while.

You be well and best wishes to your dad and grandfathers. They remain with us when we need them.

Thank you for reading my piece Carol! I try to do a weekly Palmer Report piece kind of summing up the zeitgeist.

Please do NOT worry about subscribing. My posts are 100% free, and I'm happy to help others earn from their writings. Yours are well worth it.

HUGS!!

Yeah, about those dad jokes. My daughter seems to think I afflict her with them, so she inflicts them back at me. Daughter jokes are as cringy as dad jokes.

Also, I like personalized license plates, especially when it takes some thought to figure them out. A few years ago, I drove to Canada’s Northwest Territories and fell in love with their polar bear-shaped license plates. Eventually I found a place where I could get a personalized fake NWT polar bear plate. Mine says “Cold Butt,” and I mount it on my car during especially cold winter months.

Their answer in their native language reads in English, Yes we see you.

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Thanks Nora! You guys are the best.

Now I really LOVE this joke.

It's totally meta too.

"Yes we see you" is very similar to an African greeting, Sawubona! meaning, I see you!

Aww. Thanks for noticing, I snuck that in, Anthony. Family rumor had it that we were descendants of Ivan the Terrible, which would really make a lot of sense😆🥰
