👔 Classic Dad Joke

I quit my job at the donut factory...

I was tired of the hole business!

Why This Joke Works

'Hole business' sounds like 'whole business' — the phrase for being done with the entire operation — but in a donut factory, holes are literally the product. The resignation and the job description share the same words. The pun sneaks up on you because 'tired of the whole business' reads perfectly naturally at first.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Deliver with the weary resignation of someone who has made and stared at too many donuts. You're done — with the job and with the holes.

Perfect for:

  • While eating donuts at an office meeting
  • When someone mentions a friend who works at a bakery
  • On National Donut Day when the office kitchen fills up
