This is a really bad Dad joke.
I had to think about this way too long. If you got it right away, I'm proud of you. For others, here's the joke. The dad is indicating his name is "really gonna miss you". He says I'm "really gonna miss you". The son replies Hey "really gonna miss you", I'm "son". And then the dad dies.
I don't know why this took so long to sink into my brain. I've had it for a while and when I looked at it yesterday I had to think about it all over again. I needed to post this so I wouldn't have to figure it out again.
Update...
Here's a simpler dad joke to help explain this.
Son: Dad, I'm bored.
Dad: Hi bored, I'm Dad.

I'm glad you explained it, because I don't think I ever would have gotten it.
About the picture that came with it. Lot of changes of clothing as he dies. And there's a beard that comes and goes. Or is THAT also part of the joke that I'm just not getting?
Kirk - The 5 pictures at different angles was just to make it look like a fall as the dad was dying.
Groan. I hope to forget that one quickly.
He couldn't miss him, he'd be dead.
Sue - I'll send you reminder emails. :)
Stu - But... when he's dead, he'll be missed. Unless he's cremated, put into an hourglass, and is the timer for family games every Saturday.
Mike, even with the explanation i still don't understand it, it just seems far to cryptic and cerebral.
I'd never have figured that out without the expenditure of more brain energy than I'm willing to waste at my age. Thanks for the clarification.
I'm with LJ on this one ???
I got it right away. That format is the original "classic" Dad Joke.
LJ - I don't how to explain it any better. That's the best I can do.
Bill - It hurt my brain.
CC - See LJ comment.
Deb - YOU WIN! You're in charge... of everything! You're brain is apparently still working at peak efficiency. Go to the top of the mountain and tell the guru you're taking over.
The 2nd joke explained the 1st joke. Thankfully
Mark - It only took me two days to think of doing that! :)
Thanks Mike.. and thanks for the heads up at my blog post.
Cloudia - I thought it was a test. Did I pass?
I like the "I'm bored" joke better. It didn't hurt my head trying to figure it out.
Shaw - But you could have gotten a continuing education credit for the first one.
