Dad Joke Explanation
The joke:
Someone ripped the 5th month out of my new calendar. I'm dismayed.
The breakdown:
- The 5th month of the year is May.
- If someone ripped May out of the calendar, then May is gone.
- “Dismayed” sounds like “dis-Mayed”, which can be understood as “without May.”
So the joke works in two ways:
- Normal meaning: “I’m dismayed” = “I’m upset, disappointed, or worried because something bad, unexpected, or frustrating happened.
- Hidden joke meaning: “I’m dis-Mayed” = “I’m without May.”
