The Dad joke pay-off [not actually a joke, sorry] Dad, a little after lunchtime: ""Are you hungry?"" Son: ""No."" D. ""Really? You've hardly had anything to eat all day."" S. ""Okay, really I am, but I don't want to say it because then you'll do that joke again."" Son hates joke so much he would rather go hungry than risk hearing it one more time. Now my legacy is in place, I may die a happy man.
