Good one from my dad: "I can cut wood by just looking at it"

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ sb95500 ยท 8971 points ยท Posted at 15:10:17 on December 6, 2016 ยท (Permalink)


Came up during a conversation about having a bonfire

Dad "Here's something you might not have known about me, I can cut wood by just looking at it"

Me, fully expecting a dad joke: "I don't believe you but would you care to elaborate"

Dad: "Its true! I saw it with my own eyes"

He giggled to himself for about 10 minutes after that one.
