    They’re all great except the last one. The “Cirrhosis” one went over my head but I looked it up, it’s excellent. The last one, “aqua holic”, isn’t a dad joke unless I’m missing something.

        They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.

        The “-holic” suffix is regularly used to mean addict. For example, workaholic. Yes, it originated from “alcoholic”, but it’s commonly used now. So the boat’s name just means “water addict”, there’s nothing punny about it.

          Since aqua sounds a bit like alco, the implication is that the boat owner likes both water and booze

            IMO that’s a stretch, they aren’t even close to homophones.

          It’s a play on alcoholic

            It would have been a play if it was named in the 1960’s.

      Being an aquaholic can lead to cirrhosis of the river.
