Liverpool’s funniest dad jokes from spooky tricks to blunders on Father’s Day – Liverpool Echo

It's Father's Day which means the majority of us will be spending the day celebrating our old man.

Father's Day is a day of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society and it provides the perfect opportunity to spoil your dad, step-dad or any other father figure in your life.

It's also an excuse for a massive Sunday roast dinner, lots of chocolate and the opportunity to reminisce and tell the best stories about them.

ECHO readers have shared their funniest stories of their dads in celebration.

Whether their dad is a Jim Royle type or more of a Victor Meldrew, here are their top tales.

Getting pranked

It seems many dads love to play tricks on their kids.

On our Facebook page, Andrea Cashman said: "One night watching a scary film me & my sister with my dad. My dad's keys on the mantelpiece started rattling and bouncing up an down as if it was a ghost!!He had only tied fishing wire to them [and] over the mirror down the side of the couch so he could pull on it!!He's always been a laugh."

Janet Green had a similar anecdote of being scared by her dad.

She said: "I remember my dad went the pub.

"My brother and myself were watching the old movie of [The Fly].

"My brother went into the kitchen to get a drink when a tap came at the window it was my dad with his face all squashed to the window shouted 'please help me'.

"I would [have] given anything to see my brother scream. It was that fast I missed it all - don't know where my brother ran to."

Lea Mousley added: "My Dad went the shop for mushy peas one day with my two sons and came home with a Boa constrictor snake he decided to call Feather. I nearly passed out with fright."

"I laughed for weeks"

A lot of the stories stemmed from dads getting things wrong, or turning any situation into a joke.

Helen Williams said: "I took my late father (85 at the time and of sound mind) to the shop as he wanted some bread. He insisted on getting out the car and walking to collect the bread from the shop whilst I sat in the car and watched as he was rather unsteady on his feet.

"Iwatched as he returned with the bread, but instead of getting back in my car, he got in the one next to it to the shock of the lady sat in the driving seat.

"I laughed for weeks and am still laughing now, he was not amused which made if even funnier!"

Keith Knowles commented: "One hot day in the 1960s my dad decided to make a fan from a hoover motor. He bolted it to a lump of wood, fashioned four blades from some aluminium and angle then mounted them to the spindle.

"The makeshift fan spun so fast it nearly shook the house down with fan blades flying everywhere one of which went clean through the ceiling."

Jennifer Noakes added a string of stories and said: "Getting drunk at a party and accidentally walking into the ladies' loo! Rescuing a seagull he thought was duck!

"Going to do the weekly shop wearing one shoe and one trainer! Winning the pools and jumping on the sofa - consequently breaking it and having to pay for a new one with the winnings!"

Angie Draboczi added: "I remember getting sent into the bookies for him when his tea was ready a few times."

Marg Brislen said: "My dad went to work with a black shoe and a brown shoe. He had two pairs the same but different colours. He also put wood chip wallpaper up back to front. Years ago. He argued black was white it was right. Miss him like crazy bless."

Claire Bryan said: "When I was a kid, my dad cut my fringe and it was so bad and wonky we had to go to the hairdressers and they asked him if he cut it with a knife and fork."

And some dads will never live down some embarrassing moments.

Pauline Skelhorn added: "Our dad took us to our nan's. On the way dad said 'Look kids there a Durex dog' - he meant a Dulux dog. Even the dog owner could not stop laughing. Dad went red and hurried us away."
