I know a lot of these jokes. I think my sister told them to me when I was a kid. Does anyone know what kind of jokes these are? That is, is there a name for them? I don’t think it's Dad jokes.

Edit: According to ChatGBT:

"Jokes that twist a common expression for the punchline are often referred to as "pun jokes" or "puns." A pun is a form of wordplay that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. In this case, the twist on a common expression creates humor through the unexpected reinterpretation of the original phrase."

I think pun jokes are less specific than these kind of jokes, which are like squares to the rectangles of puns, and rectangles are more specific than the quadrangles of jokes. When I entered in some of these punchlines, ChatGBT said they were "pun or wordplay joke(s)."

I won’t list the whole jokes, but here the punch lines:

That’s a hickory daiquiri Doc.

He’s a real Esso bee.

People in grass houses shouldn’t store thrones. (Edit: As mentioned in mntlblok's response, that should be "stow" instead of "store.")

If the Foo sh*ts, wear it.

Rudolf the Red knows rain, dear.

Look at that S-car go! (used previously in this thread for a slightly different joke)

And, the full Descartes joke that I know:

Descartes visits a fancy restaurant with his new girlfriend. The sommelier asks what they would like to drink. The girlfriend asks for their finest champagne. Descartes says “I think not!” and disappears.

A home insurance executive, a TV lawyer, and a Tallahassee bureaucrat are out at the dog park one sunny Florida afternoon. Naturally they start talking about how smart their dogs are. Soon a bet is laid. So the insurance guy says to his dog “Adjuster, do your thing!” So Adjuster builds a complete disaster avoidance model out of dog biscuits. The TV Lawyer says t”that’s nothing, Litigator show them what you can do!” Litigator the dog proceeds to build a model of the County courthouse out of dog biscuits, complete in every detail. They were all impressed, but the Tallahassee bureaucrat says watch this! Coffeebreak, show them up. So Coffeebreak tears up the disaster plan, wreaks the courthouse, eats all the dog biscuits, and runs off with the other dogs’ girlfriends. Needless to say, we all know whose dog won the bet.

Was about to claim them to be Shaggy Dog Stories, but decided to google to make sure. Oops. I *do* remember who told me that, though. . . [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story

I think "stow" works better than "store". :-) Love em all.

Very same bar to which the string returned after having tied himself up and roughed up his "running end". Bartender looked at him suspiciously and asked if he weren't that same piece of string that he'd recently ejected. "Nope. I'm a frayed knot".

A guy gets sent to prison and on the first night, someone yells out a number and everyone starts to laugh. After this goes on for a while, the guy asks his cellmate what is going on. The cell mate replies that there is one joke book in the library which everyone has read. Instead of telling the joke, they just call out the number of their favorite joke. The next day the guy goes to the library, finds the book and picks out the number of a joke. That night when people are calling out numbers, he calls out his number. No body laughs. The guy asks his cell mate why? The cell mate replies "Some folks can tell a joke, others can't."

It turned out to be a very good decision, because I fell off my bicycle seven times on the way home...

LOL!!

A guy was admitted to hospital with eight plastic horses in his stomach. His condition is stable.

My dad died when we couldn’t remember his blood type. As he died, he kept insisting for us to “be positive,” but it’s hard without him.

A guy tried to go into a bar with a Irishman, an Italian, a Scot, a Brit, a German, a Russian, a Chinaman, a Korean, a Pakistani, a Mexican and a Brazilian. The bouncer said, "sorry, you can't get in without a Thai".
