A waitress in Tulsa fixed my pun problem without knowing it
I was at a diner last month and the waitress kept saying 'that'll be a minute' every time she refilled coffee. My buddy joked she was a time traveler. Then it hit me. Most dad jokes fail because the setup is too long. You spend 3 sentences building to a punchline nobody asked for. She got a laugh with one simple phrase and zero setup. I went home and cut every joke I had down to one line. Shorter punchlines hit harder. My wife actually chuckled twice this week. Has anyone else tried stripping their jokes down to bare bones?

Tulsa diners must be magic, my own wife hasn't chuckled twice in a year.
