SUNDAY FUNNIES: HAPPY FATHERS' DAY 2025

 Hello Everybody! 

Today you have both Koda Canine AND Piper D. Katt here as we celebrate FATHERS' DAY!
That's right Koda. Dads come in all shapes and sizes, but they all love their children. So we're going to celebrate FATHERS' DAY with some DAD JOKES.
Ready? Let's go!

 A boy was bragging that he had two half brothers.
"Different fathers?" another child asked.
 "No," the boy replied. "My Dad is a lousy magician."

The Sun🌞 was shining on our planet one day and said, “Hey Earth.”
The Earth🌎 replied, “Hey Sun.”
Confused, the Sun said, “Dad?”

A man was advising a co-worker, "If  you're addicted to DAD jokes. you need to go on one of those 12 step programs.” 
The co-worker replied, “That dozen work.”

A father asked his son if the kid had seen the newspaper.📰
The son replied that newspapers were old school and people used tablets nowadays before handing the father his.
That fly🦟 didn’t stand a chance!😉

What kind of music♫ did the kids play for their dad on Father’s Day?
Pop music.

What did the Panda🐼 give his daddy on Father’s Day?
A big bear hug.💗

What did the baby corn say to his mommy?
"Where's pop?"

When asked if she knew how old her father was, the daughter replied, "My age. I've known him my whole life."

What's the first thing any dad does on Father's Day?
Wake up.

So on that note♫, please remember that being a parent is serious business.
After all, anyone can be a father. That's just simple biology.
But it takes someone special to be a dad.

In any event, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, and please be back next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!
PDK and KC.

SUNDAY FUNNIES: CANINE COMEDY (misc. jokes)

Hello Everybody! Koda Canine here!
Like Piper D. Katt announced last weekend, next weekend the two of us will be teaming up for our annual FATHERS' DAY SALUTE before we each do our respective acts to close out June.
Meanwhile, it's joke time! Ready?

How come humans think that the worst part of having their passwords stolen is needing to rename their dog?
We're already quite happy with the name(s) you gave us. Think of something else for your password!

If science is either stupid or mad enough to create a creature that is half dog and half tree🌳, will its bark be worse than its bite?

If a duck🦆 bites a dog, does that mean the canine is a pure bread?

If you're a dog and trying to finish any canine collection you might have, I can give you a couple of pointers.😉

What do you mean dogs can't sit on living room couches.
After all, it is furniture.

These jokes are doggone funny!
I need to get to the bank and make a woof-drawl from my checking account and de-paw-sit into my savings. 

Do you know the difference between a dog🐶 and a marine biologist?
One wags a tale. The other tags a whale.🐳

If you ever wondered why a dog sometimes runs around in a circle, have you ever tried to run around in a square?

What’s the most popular dog breed among magicians?
The labracadabrador.

How come everyone in the world thinks they have the best dog?
After all, there's only one of me.
So on that note♫, take care.
STAY SAFE!
Have a great week and please be back here next weekend for our FATHERS' DAY SALUTE on The Sunday Funnies!KC.
