free joke here ;p

just open your fucking mouth ;p

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 92).

We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I
noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.

My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time.

When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked, ‘What’s the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response, knowing he would have a good one, and in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.

“Got drunk once, and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.”

    That’s an [oldie](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/kjq30/old_man_talks_to_a_teen_with_colors_in_her_hair/). One has to remember when telling jokes that brevity is the soul of wit. This version has a lot of filler. The new shoes didn’t feature into this. The “my dad said” isn’t really integral and moves this from a joke to a story about something someone else said.

    This entire paragraph is fluff:

    “Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response, knowing he would have a good one, and in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.”

    We don’t know “your” dad. We don’t know his classic style. This adds nothing to the joke and simply draws it out. If this were an actual story you were telling to friends, this would be acceptable story-telling noise since we’d be talking about real people. Here, we are not, so this adds nothing and divides the punchline from the setup line.

    [Here’s](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/3vpo5x/an_old_man_stares_at_a_young_scene_girl_with/) a cleaner (as in, less-fluff) version from 7 years ago.

    Either way, this is an oldie and has a lot of fluff that reduces rather than adds to the Ha Ha.

    There are still malls open? I thought they all closed years ago.

    I know this isn’t the point, but all peacocks are male. Peahens are the females of the peafowl species.

    This is going to bug me now. This joke was in an 80’s or early 90’s movie. Like Uncle Buck or Grumpy Old Men.

    I think they said parrot though.

    If the kid is a teenager, that means he was at least in his 70s when he had sex with the peacock.

    This joke is easily as old as your dad.
