Gregory's ServerGod damn it, I never make dad jokes, but the electrician just showed up and it is a husband+wife duo. I could not resist a "ah, power couple" and it fell flat, fam. IT FELL FLAT.
  @hacks4pancakes you should ask them how many people have said the exact same thing before you did @hacks4pancakes it is witty! i'm only suggesting you arent the first person to use the line on them :D @hacks4pancakes you and I have had our brains touch before - im willing to wager thats been the elsewhere as well :D - your wittiness has clearly rubbed off on someone else, and they got to them before you did. it's the only possible explanation :D @Viss @hacks4pancakes nah. There are a lot more oblivious people out there than you think   @hacks4pancakes Bummer, you'd think if anyone could appreciate a joke like that, they conduit. @hacks4pancakes The only thing I can conclude here is that we're obviously not calling them again   @hacks4pancakes I firmly believe that if a pun falls in a forest, and nobody gets it, it darned well still makes a sound. @hacks4pancakes Clearly you need to kick them out and find a new electrician. Sorry, I don't make the rules. The universe has spoken.  @hacks4pancakes I appreciate you! I would of asked which one of you is AC and which one is DC.. @hacks4pancakes Holy crap, that must have been the best. setup. EVER! I'm proud of you for making it. Even if no one else got it. You did it for the art of the thing.  @skydog @DavidJBianco @hacks4pancakes @skydog @DavidJBianco @hacks4pancakes @JStatePost @DavidJBianco @hacks4pancakes Tell Leo to stay where he is. I'm sending Doordash. @hacks4pancakes I had a mason show up to do some work on my chimney and he introduced himself as Darryl. I asked if he had any brothers named Darryl. Total miss. I thought it was funny...  "I'm confused. Where's Larry? I thought it was clear that y'all arrived in a very specific order" @awalton @hacks4pancakes @da_667 @hacks4pancakes Yeah I don't see what's wrong, that joke is very current. @k3ggy @da_667 @hacks4pancakes If everyone needs to calm down from the dad jokes, just chant Ohm a few times....  @NoTheOtherNick @karl @da_667 @hacks4pancakes I read this thread to my pun-hating electrics-loving wife and I think she short-circuited    @niqdanger @hacks4pancakes one could say it didn't even phase them.    @hacks4pancakes damn it. That’s supposed to be a GIF of Rick Moranis giving a thumbs up. But I guess all you get are dad khakis.  @hacks4pancakes You mean your former electrician, right? Because, wow, there's no coming back from that. You just gotta set them free. @hacks4pancakes Seems like they were well-grounded and not too amped up about your lines  @hacks4pancakes  @hacks4pancakes I bet they're great electricians since they weren't shocked by your joke.  @hacks4pancakes as an electrician, that would have absolutely made my day, even if I had heard it 50 times before @solarboi @hacks4pancakes 🥥 As a former #entrepreneur, I would have laughed at that joke even if I had heard it 500 times before, Derek. 🥥   @hacks4pancakes I'm sorry for your loss. At the VERY least, it deserved a guttural groan, which is just as good as a laugh. @glassbottommeg @hacks4pancakes @Piewords @hacks4pancakes @hacks4pancakes "power coupling" drains some force from the pun. I wonder if there is a word in rhetoric for such a "shadow pun". But I chuckled with everyone else. You'd slay on the comedy circuit. Oh, more electrical pun. @hacks4pancakes better hit that Absence of Voltage Tester. I don't think that couple was lit. Too bad, it's top notch. I wonder if going with "Ah, an electrician's union" would have gone better?   @Demvoter @hacks4pancakes The electricians wanted them to know they're grounded.  @hacks4pancakes They’re DC, and you’re the live wire. “Penny in your fuzebox?”  @hacks4pancakes It fell flat?? Dude, cut off all work now. Remove them from the premises!   @hacks4pancakes @hugh @hacks4pancakes Yes, more than knowledge of electricity and electrical safety, it is an essential requirement for public-facing electicians to _laugh uproariously at unfunny jokes_. (A rule obviously made by someone who doesn't live with two dad-joke-attracting names.) @hacks4pancakes I sense some resistance on your part. Perhaps the humor gap between a client in need of a service and those providing it impeded the transmission of that joke. Or perhaps it is simply that "power couples" are yesterday's news, and you have failed to keep current. I'll see myself out. @tomlevenson @hacks4pancakes @tantramar @hacks4pancakes  |
@hacks4pancakes I giggled for you. That was a primo dad joke. I love it.
