People think that Dad Jokes are lame because dads don't have a sense of humor. Now that I'm a decade in I have a different understanding. A dad sees something funny, but they've made this mistake before, so they stop and think about what they're going to say. It was damn funny, but it's also going to offend literally everyone in the room. So he does the right thing, and keeps it to himself.

But damn... it was funny. He's still laughing to himself. Maybe there's some way to say it *without* offending everyone. Yeah, maybe this other angle... well, nevermind, that doesn't really work either. The room is so quiet though... ok, there's a silly pun that kind of fits, let's just say that.

But if you took him aside... Really poked him about it... Committed to getting that real answer... He might just tell you what he's been thinking the whole time. Because honestly, he just wanted someone to hear what he had to say, without it being a big deal.
