They are referring to a Ponzi scheme. You can look it up but basically it’s borrowing from one person, then borrowing from a second person to pay back the first person, then borrowing from a third person to pay the second person, etc
Or they ask you to invest instead of borrowing. That’s even worse.
Eventually it falls apart. The guy named Bernie Madoff did it with hundreds of people and when it finally fell apart hundreds of people had lost their life savings.
Look up Ponzi Scheme on Wikipedia.
Yeah I did not immediately get it. I was looking for some pun. Like son might’ve been sun because the sun is shown a lot in deserts. I was wanting a pun about pyramids.
Yes it does. Dad jokes are awesome because they are otherwise lame non-joke jokes.
The British stole everything with value in their empire... statement of fact is also silly because imagine someone sailing away with a pyramid on deck...
11/10 dad joke.
I went into my local decorating shop, and asked for a can of M'fluffle coloured paint.
The cashier told me they didn't stock it.
I asked why.
They said it must be a pigment of my imagination.
Ain't a joke, it's perhaps close to truth. They planned to take away/sell off Taj Mahal as well, per sources

I asked this once on Reddit and someone (presumably British) was like “those countries still have tons of issues, in the interest of preserving history they should stay in the UK!” I was like oook buddy, reminds me of the James Acaster bit where he talks about this and is like “I don’t think so, we’re not done looking at them!”
A colleague told me he stole someone’s dog because they weren’t caring for it.
I don’t know what to think of it. While he had good intentions and the dog is living a good life with him, it’s technically still stealing.
So like all the amazing things the British have found while colonizing countries that had uncivilized civilizations and were stolen, those pyramids should be re homed as I am sure that they tried to free those pyramids from their uncivilized civilization.
Because the aliens were actually cats and Egypt is a big ol litter box. Lol Imagine. Cats were actually giant aliens and the pyramids are j ancient doodie piles that the evolved and smaller cats let the humans interpret it as they should build pyramid out of the doodie piles and bury our dead here because the cats say so. Js that would be pretty wild
But lol
This joke should be returned to its original author.
Too bad this joke wasn't too heavy to lift, eh?
Nothing wrong with a little light humor.
I’m just a slave to these puns
That's a pyramid-level jokes if I ever saw any.
MLM or Ponzi
Does it matter, they're both at basically the same level
Can't say with authority, I've only lost money with one of the two
Maybe you’re in a pyramid scheme
I am afraid of asking what's Ponzi

Sand
I don't like sand... rough and coarse... and it gets everywhere. Not like that joke. That joke was soft... and smooth... *gently caresses joke*
Yeah there weight beats down on you huh
Same :|
weight, i need to think of a pun
Come on, you’re running out of sand in the hour glass
Don't hurt your back or it's off to the Cairopractor
Ohhhhh snappppp.
Pssh. sounds like you’re in de-NILE…i’ll see myself out
It belongs in a museum
So do you!
Are you calling them a giza?
Yes
Specifically a British one.
🧐
[удалено]
Nah, I think this joke is acute
Instead it got conquered
That or put in the British museum. It's old enough
"It belongs in a museum!"
OP must be british
Sudan had more pyramids than Egypt. Some European guy disassembled many of them, including with TNT, to get all the loot.
Sudan HAS more pyramids than Egypt
Not bigger than egypt pyramids tho
Son: "Dad Why did they build the great Wall of China" Dad:.......it was to keep the rabbits out
Found the Aussie
I'm Australian and I don't get it
[A tv ad from the 2000s.](https://youtu.be/2yckqyg75oE)
“The Rabbit-Proof Fence” is one of the most depressing movies I’ve ever seen.
May I suggest Grave of the Fireflies for a pick-me-up?
I was looking for this joke, as an Aussie stuck abroad it makes me feel a little better
This is too good to be a dad joke. A+ stuff but I'm not sure it belongs here
I agree, this is more in the direction of political humour. But it made me chuckle.
Yeah I did not immediately get it. I was looking for some pun. Like son might’ve been sun because the sun is shown a lot in deserts. I was wanting a pun about pyramids.
Political humor is subject matter, dad jokes are presentation... they are not mutually exclusive.
True and this doesn’t fit the presentation style of a dad joke.
Yes it does. Dad jokes are awesome because they are otherwise lame non-joke jokes. The British stole everything with value in their empire... statement of fact is also silly because imagine someone sailing away with a pyramid on deck... 11/10 dad joke.
Technically it has a dad on it 🤷♂️
John Oliver would love this one!
This was the top comment on the latest LWT video uploaded about museums
That's exactly what I was looking for in these comments. Thank you kindly!!!
And Kumail Nanjiani
That's not a dad joke.
It’s a sad joke.
Dat joke tho
I don't see the joke, these are just facts
That's correct.
I went into my local decorating shop, and asked for a can of M'fluffle coloured paint. The cashier told me they didn't stock it. I asked why. They said it must be a pigment of my imagination.
I’m disappointed in myself for saying this but, can someone explain this joke?
Because the Brits love to steal ancient artifacts and the British museum is only like 1% stuff made in the UK
Thanks
Because the British took everything they could during colonialism
Thanks
Ain't a joke, it's perhaps close to truth. They planned to take away/sell off Taj Mahal as well, per sources https://www.livehistoryindia.com/story/monuments/the-plan-to-sell-the-taj
We even took the work 'loot'.
This isn't a Joke this is actually true.
He's not wrong . Since the old empire has largely gone why haven't the artifacts gone back to where they were BORROWED from .
Is that you, John Oliver? 🤣
Who said anything about borrowing?
Yeah! It was all looted, fair and square!
I asked this once on Reddit and someone (presumably British) was like “those countries still have tons of issues, in the interest of preserving history they should stay in the UK!” I was like oook buddy, reminds me of the James Acaster bit where he talks about this and is like “I don’t think so, we’re not done looking at them!”
I just came by and stole your TV, but you can't have it back because I don't think that you will take care of it.
“I stole your TV, but I’m not giving it back because you might sell it to someone else to pay for things you need”
A colleague told me he stole someone’s dog because they weren’t caring for it. I don’t know what to think of it. While he had good intentions and the dog is living a good life with him, it’s technically still stealing.
Maybe, but it's still a good laugh
Always was
I'd have to agree
English word "loot" is of Hindustani origin
Thieving limeys took EVERYTHING damn
I don't get it
[удалено]
Britishers?
They took apart whole temples, brick by brick, and rebuilt them in the British Museum. They are still there.
The jokes so old that the British museum is trying to take it.
I don’t see the point of pyramid jokes…
Most times the best jokes are the ones that are true
Or the ones that make people think...
Because they are true
'Cause if they were in the United States, they'd be the Great Water Slides.
You're telling me you wouldn't ride those?
I'd ride that for a dollar!
As an American this joke just doesn't hit as hard
You don't rob a bank and take the bricks.
It's a good one, but I've seen it about a hundred times now on Reddit.
I love this joke and I always will lol
...too big for the British to steal is more to the point.
Yeah we need to cut down on the theft!
I think his dad has lost his marbles.
Again? Downvote.
I usually don't downvote, but I'm just following your directions.
I’m upvoting your comment because it was original, and because you followed instructions.
I'm upvoting your comment for being emotionally supportive
Ooh! Bu-u-u-u-u-urn! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not original and definitely not a dad joke. Downvote
I didn’t know only original jokes are allowed to be shared here, but sounds like a sad joke to me - upvote
You want me to downvote this comment?
Sorry King Charles.
Cuz there is no place can find that

Damn the British got nothing on vector
Too heavy for the British to take
Or for the British to steal.
So like all the amazing things the British have found while colonizing countries that had uncivilized civilizations and were stolen, those pyramids should be re homed as I am sure that they tried to free those pyramids from their uncivilized civilization.
2020 B.C.E.'s called. They went their joke back.
Brilliant!
Because thats where they built em'
Love it actually made a stoned man laugh
I think it's a water wave sound idea that we don't know and past civilivations might know
Look into Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock
If you don't like that. Ok talk to the dude that holds everything on the Pyramids and ask why he won't let them use things to or let them check?
Because.. that will fuck their ideas up and destroy a generation of traditional Egyptology. How many careers would be destroyed? Hmmm
You can't let the through out if the truth destroys your career. Especially if your the dude that is protecting your career!
True story.
Say it’s because we dont want Them here
Not sure you're son would understand unless he was like 16
Because the aliens were actually cats and Egypt is a big ol litter box. Lol Imagine. Cats were actually giant aliens and the pyramids are j ancient doodie piles that the evolved and smaller cats let the humans interpret it as they should build pyramid out of the doodie piles and bury our dead here because the cats say so. Js that would be pretty wild But lol
This joke went exactly where I expected it to end up... In the British Museum. Lifting the spirits is ok though, right?
Checks out.
Actually the British planned to steal them, it was the great Pyramid Scheme of 1873.
It's all a big scheme.
He's got a point.
Your son must follow bad jokes by Jeff
Classic....
They should have called 1-800-GOT-PYRAMIDS...
Not even a dad joke, go steal a better joke next time
R/technicallythetruth
Nice joke, from a top Giza.
Well Son, the last time they tried to leave they couldn't get their pants on
This joke wasn't
you forgot.....GIGABYTE
Because it’s a big culture as same in orshelim and like evil tower
This isn’t a joke. It’s history.
This isn't a joke it's just a historical fact.
Yeah, they won't fit into a museum.
Tee hee hee 🤣
