My son: Dad, something is biting…AHHHH!! Well, it can’t be a crocodile they don’t… wait a minute.. AN EXCLAMATION POINT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NICE USE OF PUNCTUATION HERE!
Why It’s Funny
This joke plays on the literal interpretation of punctuation marks while subverting expectations about a typical parent-child interaction. It’s hilarious because the dad is more obsessed with proper grammar and sentence structure than the fact that his kid is being attacked.
