    Why is he playing dumb? Anyone who thinks about it for one second knows dogs can bowl. Of course it must be exhausting to deal with someone who won’t put in the effort.

      That’s not a bad faith joke. That is an educated person encouraging their partner to do better, gently, with humor.

          They’re called “dad jokes”, not “bad jokes”. Spelling matters.

          BTW here’s a bad faith joke:
          Why couldn’t the bicycle stand up by itself?
          It was two-tired… just like my faith in God.

              That’s actually something that varies from country to country.

              the American style places commas and periods inside the quotation marks, even if they are not in the original material. British style (more sensibly) places unquoted periods and commas outside the quotation marks. For all other punctuation, the British and American styles are in agreement: unless the punctuation is part of the quoted material, it goes outside the quotation marks.

                It’s always bothered me when writing technical documentation, that I would put the period or the comma outside of the quotes (since that’s what my English teachers always told me) but I am quoting something very specific which does not include the punctuation mark.

                But when I’m not writing tech docs, I try to follow that “rule.”

            Why did the chicken cross the road?

            To get to the other side, where he was meeting his church group to tell them he would no longer be attending.

    I want a disney movie where a kids bowling team is going up against the bully bowling team. And they end up breaking one of the kids arms so he can’t bowl anymore.

    Thats when they bring in a golden retriever to be their 4th team member. There’s no rule against it in the rulebook…

    So despite everyone telling them it’s a bad idea, and it’ll never work, they let it stand officially! The dog is on the team! They rename their team The Underdogs! And then that team gets decimated in the tournament due to dogs lacking opposable thumbs, and have no concept of what bowling even is.

    Dogs bowling may be a joke, but it’s surprising how many dogs enjoy skateboarding once they learn the basics.
