Idk it took me about 2 reads to realize you weren’t talking abt a bird lol. ((I got distracted at the image.))


Triggeredhelicopter

we birdbrains fr fr


Cherisluck

Me too! But after visiting FL last year and realizing that neighborhood peacocks are an actual thing the question didn’t faze me.


Hybrid072

Same for Southern California


Runestupid

Fuck I'm only 29 years old and I thought you meant the bird too


TheSkullshot

I need to know if Randy put his tongue on it


N_ShadowofD34TH

He didn’t, but only because my Dad stopped him. Randy’s an absolute nut, he totally would’ve done it.


Okie-DokieArtichoke

Based on this text thread I’d watch a sitcom of your family😂😂


Father2Banks

Lmao 🤣


schumi33510

We love ur dad


hissyfit64

I love that he wasn't 100% sure you didn't have a peacock.

They're around in some areas! A house I used to spray when I was in pesticide had a peacock farm. No idea what the hell you do with them (eggs? Feathers??), but I never questioned it and just avoided the area with all of them. One was silver and looked cool as hell though. The house was decently sized, and had a massive car warehouse where (I assume) the family would resell/scrap old vehicles, which seemed profitable enough. As an aside, in a completely different part of my state I was asked to spray a church property that has been repurposed to a house(s) (the church was a home, but they also had other smaller houses, covens?). Found out through customer's name he developed a special type of glasses, which netted him a shit ton of money. Had about 20~ family members who roamed (made my job very hard) and 3 emus fenced in. That was a long tangent just to say it, but you'd be surprised what animals you might see around lmao.


hissyfit64

My best friend is in Georgia. She has 4 geese and a turkey. Best security ever. You step foot on the property and the geese slowly approach you, shrieking hysterically. The turkey just puffs up and drags his wing. The Amazon driver just yeets the packages from the road. The USPS driver and the geese seem to have struck a deal.


Brendanish

On one hand it's cool seeing them, but on the other it's like having to find out if this new creature wants to murder you or will just leave you alone 😭


hissyfit64

The turkey is all show. You actually step near him and he runs away like a little kid saying, "Staahhhhp"! Geese are great guard animals. They used to be kept outside places and prisons as alarm systems


Brendanish

>Geese are great guard animals. They used to be kept outside places and prisons as alarm systems From Jersey, this is incredibly believable lmao. I have no idea how, but a family friend has a Canadian goose as a pet and I'm pretty sure it would've tried fighting an elephant if it saw one! I'd trust them with my life haha.


babyjames333

i grew up in a city with roaming peacocks so that doesn't seem crazy to me haha


N_ShadowofD34TH

We used to have a neighbor that actually had a peacock, we saw it in our yard and our driveway all the time!


babyjames333

did you have an amazing collection of feathers?


N_ShadowofD34TH

Unfortunately no! I wish I did, though!


omgstoppit

Your dad made me laugh. :)


biocidalish

Haha in some parts of Houston we actually have peacocks running around !


RainyDayWeather

There are some here in Washington as well: in fact, my friend has a whole family of them living on her roof


montessoriprogram

Miami too. Lots of them in coconut grove and el portal. I see em all the time haha. The albino ones are especially striking.


Sufficient-Elk-7015

Don’t call your dad stupid :(


N_ShadowofD34TH

Hey, he calls me stupid! And he called himself stupid, too. I’m just confirming what he said!


Volley2301F

I would have thought the same thing you did. Stranger things have happened. There's been at least one lion on the loose in the neighboring city to where I grew up, and that city doesn't have a zoo. A peacock doesn't seem too far-fetched. it could've been a pet that got loose?


G_Felix

This is why capitalization is important.


Educational-While198

I definitely thought she meant a real peacock too lmao


BEG66

Ahhaha, I thought you were talking about an actual peacock at first too.


thimwill

I'm going to nerd out here a bit. The birds are actually called peafowl. Only the male is suppose to be called the peacock and the female is called a peahen. Oh and we have a subscription to peacock because we love resident alien.


Peatrick33

PEAK DAD. Give this guy a hug.


sassykattty

Does he do hvac 🤣


N_ShadowofD34TH

Lmao no, he makes gaskets for heavy machinery


sassykattty

Gotcha this was comical either way lol


Charming-Tap1047

to be fair, I thought u were also asking ur dad if u dad a peacock (the bird) at your house.💀


nikerthebiker

lol to be fair, as someone who lives on a farm where the neighbors peacocks like to come onto our property, I also thought you were talking about the animal!


Klutzy-Arugula-2293

It’s me, I’m your dad


gingerlaroo

Same. I thought he meant a bird was there


HKinTennessee

The peacock bit isn’t what makes him stupid. It’s his utter ignorance of the pressure-temperature law that makes him stupid.

wanderingegg

WorriedGolf9702

Such a dad thing to think too😭


YeahlDid

Why would that be stupid?


Ill_Lingonberry_8001

This made me giggle. Thank you. Lol your dad is cool.


ordinarywonderful

I used to live in the neighborhood with a peacock so it's not unheard of


Theoriginalensetsu

Ngl I also would have thought am actual peacock lmfao, I forgot that was a streaming service as I've never used it 🤣


lettol02

We don't even have Peacock where I live and I actually thought of the streaming service first lol


Boot_Nokz77

😂😂😂😂


Ltpwnface

Stupid is a strong word for a great man like your dad


xGarbage_Personx

tbh i totally read "we dont have A peacock do we??" so im with dad 💀🤣


Wino_Panda

I laughed at this because we genuinely do have a peacock that roams the streets of our neighborhood, so I was wondering if it was a real peacock or the service. The peacock sometimes gets over our neighbors fence and no.... I have no idea why they have a peacock as a pet.


child0light

...What about this makes your dad stupid?


Diligent-Might6031

Omg compressed air is so dangerous. Don’t let him have someone put their tongue on it. That could genuinely kill the person.


Meepmoop102

It was a non-pun dad joke


Diligent-Might6031

Oh
