Dad Joke thread (everybody welcome)

I decided to go to the store to buy a bottle of whiskey the other day. There store isn't far, so I decided to ride my bike to get a little exercise. As I walked out of the store with my bottle, I got a little concerned; what if I fell and broke the bottle on my way home? So I decided to drink the whiskey before I left to be sure I didn't break the bottle and waste the whiskey. Good thing I did, because I fell three times on my way home!
 
True story: There was a laundromat in Beloxi between Pass Road and I-90. About halfway down through the washing machines and dryers was an archway in the wall. Step through and you were in a nice comfortable bar. That owner was a genius.

They probably make the gin in the washing machines. 😀
 
Nah. No washing machines or bathtubs. Only the best for a GI at an off base bar. This is a joke thread right.;)

I always thought a good business idea would be a laundromat that sold beer.

I'd call it, Suds and Duds

Been there. You started your laundry and all you had to remember was the number on your washing machine or dryer. You went next door (through an opening in the wall between the two establishments) and had a beer. There was a screen over the bar. Not a monitor per se, but a screen with red numbers that would display a real-time updated list of the machines that had just completed their cycles.

When your number came up, you went next door and either transferred your stuff from washer to dryer, or put more quarters in the dryer to get the desired result. This is when you could get a pitcher of beer for a dollar. The name was Papa Suds.

They had a punch card too. Every pitcher of beer got you a punch. The 10th pitcher was free. They were very smart. They had odd-shaped punches that were rotated on a monthly basis, to cut down on punch-fraud.:)
 
We had a Duds and Suds franchise at my college. Many a memories of beer and laundry. A social event with friends. Duds and Suds was the ‘expensive’ laundromat. For special occasions. Otherwise it was the ‘cheap’ laundromat. Not so nice.
 
I just googled. We have one in my town. But TECHNICALLY you are not to late because it’s Duds n Suds, not vice versa 😆

At the end of the month you could go down to the Red Cross and for $5 cash you could give a pint of O-neg blood and go and buy a basket of Tater-Tots and a pitcher of beer with change back. They also had a program on base where you could give blood at the Hospital and get a duty day off. Unfortuanately if you had been SEA they rejected your donation but you still got the day. I confess I might have used that one. The joke was on them as there was no limit on how many times you could use it within a certain RCONUS date. When your first base salary started at $90 a month and you were paid once a month every little bit helps. Was having Tater-Tots and a pitcher of beer on July 20, 1969 when we all snuk off base to a bar outside back gate to watch the moon landing.
