That's How You Wave a Towel

 There is an inappropriate joke, where the title, is the punch line. For the sake of not spreading bad idea, and to live above reproach, I have to change my ways of thinking and not share that joke. My late adoptive father like to make people laugh, but frequently used adult jokes, and that did make most people chuckle, but sometimes they laughed because of how uncomfortable they felt hearing the crude inappropriate jokes. 

His wife, my adoptive mom, said "All jokes a putdown to someone" which my wife and I do not agree with. There are plenty of dad jokes, that little kids tell, based on naive word puns, like "Do the Polish people also Polish Furniture, noting that the Police also Police, verbs and nouns at the same time, while polishing a headlight to remove UV oxide damage to polycarbonate the clear plastic used on the outside of automotive headlight assembles, if your polish your headlight as a Polish person, then some Polish also Polish, noting they are spelled the same, but pronounced slightly differently. 

Or, did you notice that people drive on a park-way, while many others park on their Driveway, giving me and many others the impression that the British people who concocted the English the language, must have been drinking lots of gin for much of that development mixing German, Latin, Spanish, Italian and French into the English language, making spelling so confusing that every single letter of the alphabet silent in an some word in English. 

Many English Teachers and many ESL students find this YouTube video super funny, called 

"English is a Giant Meme" to make fun of all the stupid illogical inconsistences that drove me mad as a child student in English classes, much to the frustration of my English class teachers who did not find my identification of these inconsistences funny. 

There is a children book called P is for Pterodactyl, even though speaking that word sounds like a T noise, "tear a dac tal", do you get it, it's funny because the P is silent

Xylophone, "Zi Lo Phone", notice the Z noise even though it begins with an X, like X-ray
