An old man with hearing problems crashed his car into an expensive sports car,
Posted by Reecethehawk@reddit | Jokes | View on Reddit | 38 comments
The owner of the expensive car gets out of his car outside his house and says “give me 10.000 dollars or I’ll beat the hell out of you!!”
The man replies “Woah woah buddy I don’t have that much, but let me call my son he trains dolphins”. The man calls his son and right as he was about to talk the owner of the expensive car yanks the phone out of his hand and says “So you train dolphins do you? Well bring me 10.000 dollars or I’ll beat your dad up!”, the son answers, in a very calm and reassuring way “Okay give me 15 minutes and I’ll be there.”
15 minutes later the son pulls up with a jeep and out comes 10 men which start beating the owner of the car. Meanwhile the son walks over to his father and shouts “Dad I train SEALS not DOLPHINS!”.

Good old number 6.

I see what you did there.

6 A. 6 has memory problem, this guy has hearing problem.
Geobits@reddit
Why the hearing problem? That's not how you get from seals to dolphins. That's a memory or general old-age fogginess problem, nothing to do with hearing.

Young people writing jokes don't understand how hearing problems work

I have no idea what you're trying to say here.
Reecethehawk@reddit (OP)
I don't think anyone here knows what you're trying to say
Geobits@reddit
Pretty simple. People with hearing problems don't hear the word "seals" and think "dolphins", because they sound nothing alike. Hearing problem jokes only make sense when the words sound similar. Thinking his son trains dolphins is clearly just a memory problem, so the old man having hearing problems is completely irrelevant to the joke, and serves no purpose.
But whatever. I guess some people can't take genuine criticism coming from a good place. Enjoy your day.
Reecethehawk@reddit (OP)
Yes I know that, but this isn't my joke, and when I seen it, I laughed at it. There's also another version of it which is still funny, but not as funny as the original one. Both of those jokes say hearing problems, so why would I change the start of a joke that's not mine?
Geobits@reddit
You've edited the joke at least once since posting it already. I was merely suggesting another edit to make it a better joke, or at least a tighter one. People change/edit jokes all the time when they see flaws or ways to make it sound better, it's nothing unusual. It not being "your joke" doesn't really matter, because jokes get passed along in altered form all the time.
Reecethehawk@reddit (OP)
Yes I edit them, but why would I edit this one for no reason? You can't edit titles of reddit posts anyway.

Except for the disciplinary hearings for those 10 soldiers

Hearing problem is joke 6 variant d
FanraGump@reddit
Yes, this is the variant where a Navy SEAL trainer needs nine other guys to beat someone up.
Also the one where their commander (and the police) ignore the fact they beat up a civilian who just threatened but didn't actually do any violence (this one is more likely, though).
KaraAliasRaidra@reddit
I was expecting the punchline to be that the son ran a psychiatric hospital, and when he heard the bully ranting about training dolphins & beating people up he'd think, "Oh, I'm going to be able to have this guy committed no problem!" and send some guards to bring the bully there in a straitjacket. My assumption was WAY darker than how the joke actually ended!
DeltaCommandFish@reddit
Maybe he said it on porpoise
neutrino71@reddit
Definitely something fishy going on

the old man was conveniently in the right plaice
OutrageousAd6177@reddit
God dammit.
Consistent_Low2080@reddit
l think you mean “Cod dammit”.
Electrical_Tomato_73@reddit
Seriously, he did say it on ~~porpoise~~ purpose. If he said "let me talk to my son, he trains Navy Seals", would that have worked?
ijustatemostofit@reddit
Man, people really gotta love the punchline of someone getting beaten up to accept such a nonsensical scenario leading up to it.

Just saw this one like one or 2 days ago
suddenimpulse01@reddit
Saw it yesterday

Saw it earlier today.

This again

Damn these are getting reposted quickly
Pussy-Wideness-Xpert@reddit
Trains THE Dolphins would also work.
Jusfiq@reddit
Since this is Navy SEAL, it’s presumably in the United States. There, $10.000 is just worth a Big Mac meal.
Electrical_Tomato_73@reddit
Metaphorically, yup, and literally, if you're talking compensation for a luxury car, $10,000 is chump change. And the luxury car owners know it. Hence the insurance. The joke doesn't work for that reason.
SpotFit2996@reddit
Son: "Dad for the last time I train SEALS not DOLPHINS!”. Dad: "Potayto potato"
dkyeager@reddit
It needs to say Navy somewhere. Replacing seals with Navy Seals would work better.
Reecethehawk@reddit (OP)
Done
JaguarMammoth6231@reddit
Dad probably messed up on porpoise.
