Dad Joke explanation
The Joke:
Why should you never take sides in an argument at the dinner table?
Trick question. It's the perfect time to take sides because no one's paying attention. Bring Tupperware.
The joke is a play on words involving the word "sides."
  • In an argument, "taking sides" usually means choosing which person you agree with.
  • But at a dinner table, "sides" also means side dishes (like fries, corn, or mashed potatoes).
​The Misdirection:
You think it's about being polite during a fight.
​The Reveal:
It’s actually about stealing food! Because everyone is distracted by the yelling, you can "take the sides" (the food) and put them in your Tupperware to eat later.
