I knew that my child was asking for a grilled cheese sandwich, it's just that it was fun for me to call it a 'gorilla cheese sandwich' instead, because I was her dad, and it was cute to see her face when I said it.
A Thoughtless and Cruel Play on Words
Those were the days, so long ago, when things were cute, and an innocent play on words was... innocent.
Soon, my daughter, she didn't want gorilla cheese sandwiches anymore, because "we shouldn't eat gorillas, they're endangered."
Silly girl, she thought gorilla cheese was made from gorillas!
So it was that I explained to the child that no gorillas were harmed in making gorilla cheese, but that it was a useful side business for many gorillas to sell their milk for a little extra cash around the house, and that the gorillas had totally agreed to it.
She still didn't want a gorilla cheese sandwich for some reason, nothing I said seemed to help.
So it was that I became a cruel and heartless father; to joke about making cheese from gorilla milk, even as those same gorillas were lounging at home, happily watching their Primate Time TV and getting paid for it.
That milk apparently should have been going to baby gorillas so they'd quit being endangered, and so on.
"Gorillas shouldn't be watching TV, either."
Nothing's any fun any more, I suppose.
OK, I'll just make you a nice peanut butthole and jelly sandwich instead, my dear.
Haha this is great! Messing with your kids is fun. I do it all the time ;) And they come up with some pretty funny stuff too. One time when I was making my youngest a grilled cheese she said, “Mom! Now I know why they’re called ‘girl’ cheese! Because girls love to eat them!” She also calls cinnamon swirl toast “squirrel toast” and it’s too cute to correct her. Now if I’d only thought to tell her that they were made of real girls and real squirrels 😆

Swirl toast sounds pretty good right now, but mine has to be squirrel-free, I'm vegetarian. It's funny too that now my daughter is grown, she's nearly a vegan these days, so she might not eat any cheese at all now.

It's just so interesting that I write a post about being cornered at times and having to explain what comedy is, when I shouldn't have to. And you write this, basically describing misunderstood humor. Brilliant!

haha I nearly started the bit with, 'humor is hard.' I wondered too if it was offensive to make fun of different species these days-- I might have tried that before when I made fun of squirrels one time in a post. It wasn't encouraged by the voters, as I recall.

When I wrote that Dick Assman post, I wrote it in a way that first taught people that it's only natural to laugh at certain things. Then I switched gears to show folks how there's no need to stop laughing and start feeling sorry for something or someone. The laughter isn't actually doing the damage. It's the one's trying to act like protectors who actually cause the harm. It's a strange phenomenon. My words cannot really describe it well.

On the Assman video, the lady who was questioning Dave was trying so hard to be offended, or to pity Dick or whatever she was doing there to try to kill the fun, and Dave diffused it perfectly; "You ever hear the term, 'beating a dead horse?' As in, give it up lady, fun and comedy won't be ruled by your pretend outrage.

Exactly. Dave saw right through it, he's been there a thousand times before. He knows their little game. I wonder what it is about funny people that intimidates those who don't have the ability. It's that darkness disguised as brightness I mentioned in my last little post there. That line has such a profound meaning behind it. To me, at least.

@therealpaul, the story was cute and funny, but the illustration of the "gorilla cheese" factory really drove it home... maybe you could do illustrations for a children's book where all the pictures are misheard and mispronounced things children think we're saying. Or maybe a mock "children's book" for adults, like Go The Fuck To Sleep.

I really just wanted to draw that gorilla and her little cheese production facility for the awkward laughs, the story was just an 'origins' story for the picture.
I think my whole page may be a sort of 'children's book' for adults, you may be on to something here!

There are definitely days when you can't win as a parent, and I don't think it has anything to do with endangered gorillas, nope, I'm pretty sure it's just them finding ways to be rebellious little turds.
Sierra sounds a bit like my daughter, perhaps the name explains. My boy however, upon hearing such a thing would proudly exclaim "Mmmm gorilla cheese" take a huge bite and let it ooze down his face.
It fascinates me to no end those differences.

It is rebellious turdliness for the most part, and still we are similar in too many ways. She doesn't seem to appreciate my 'dad jokes' anymore for some reason!

OMG very interesting, gorilla sandwich, your daughter is right why to eat, the name is not interesting. Please keep some beautiful name, so that the children should please with it, you are very funny, gorillas look TV show..
Haha very funny, the milking process is also very funny.. It's a great art to create fun, thanks for sharing, wish you a very funny night my dear friend.

I think these days parents would likely be reported to the authorities for such reckless parenting as this, creating trauma for the child with visions of gorillas living or dying for their little sandwich.
