Last week my dad joke streak hit rock bottom at the family BBQ

I told 8 puns in a row and my own kids started fake-coughing through them. The worst one was about a broken pencil, and my wife said if I tell one more she's taking away my grill privileges for a month. Has anyone else bombed this hard on a single day?

Wait, you think a broken pencil pun is rock bottom? Cause I used to think dad jokes were just lazy humor until I heard my uncle's "what do you call a fish with no eyes" at Easter dinner and literally choked on my deviled egg from laughing so hard. That changed my mind completely, now I can't stop telling them myself even when my wife gives me the same look.

8 puns is amateur hour, my record is 12 before my wife hid the car keys.

My buddy Kevin once hit 10 dad jokes at his daughter's birthday party and the kids started doing that fake snoring thing. His wife threatened to make him sleep in the garage if he said one more pun so he whispered the last one to the dog instead. The man is banned from hosting birthdays now, lol.
