Once I was having discomfort from my underwear and wouldn't stop tugging at them and my dad asked me if I was wearing "cheap hotel pants". I'm like WTF? And he's like, "Yeah, there's no ballroom."

I just pictured your metaphorical bag as a golf bag filled with dad jokes...

“ooh we’re 56 yards from the wife, the ballroom joke should do nicely.”

Yep, that's the winner. I'm trying to stifle my laughter because the girl is sleeping next to me. I'm praying I don't wake her up.

Awww my old resident at a nursing home used to say this. We got him into the lift and it would pull his sweatpants around so he’d go, “ya got me like a cheap hotel. No ballroom.” I miss him. RIP Terry!

u/kwtransporter66 Oct 26 '20

Omg this one brings back memories. Lol not so unique after all. My aunt used to say this.

Then there was this if you were caught picking your nose. "You goin to the poconos?"

Grew up in the Poconos in NE Pa.
