Today, my son asked, “Can I have a bookmark?” I burst into tears—11 years old and he still doesn’t know my name is Brian. (lemmy.ca)

Ok... so. For the terminally slow?

Can I have a bookmark? = Can I have a book, Mark?

Thus demonstrating the importance of correct comma use.

It can be the critical factor when helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse.

l felt more shame about helping my uncle jack onto a horse, but he said he needed a hand or he couldn't get up.

Is that how he got the name Mr.Hands?

[-] lightnegative@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

It's why horses are measured by hands

[-] EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Yes, farm hands

Did you help your uncle jack off afterwards?

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 8 points 8 months ago

Or "Let's eat aunt Sally" vs "Let's eat, aunt Sally"

Oh man, I'm fucking slow

It took me a few read throughs as well, if i didn't know there was a joke in there, i wouldn't have ever got it.

[-] End0fLine@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

I don’t get it either…

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 22 points 8 months ago

oh hi Mark

Great verbal joke. Doesn't read as well as it sounds.

[-] Eggyhead@kbin.run 10 points 8 months ago

Your 11 year old knows what a real bookmark is?

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think this could be more obvious if you work in handing your son a book with a tear in your eye or something. Great premise though!

The really sad part is that it was my daughter and she is 32....
