      Cause the boat "doc" sounds like dock or wharf, doesn't it?
      But I suggest new explanation for your third example joke:
      Dad, I'm hungry. - Hi, Hungary, I'm Dad! (hope this seems fun), thanks for the lesson 😉

      Hi Vanessa. Maybe the answer is that "doc" is the short form of doctor, the place where we (and the boats, it seems!) go when we are ill. But "sick" sounds a little bit like "sink" and "doc" sounds like dock, the specific area for boats. Is this right?

    In Japan, a medical checkup is called 人間ドック (Human Doc) when it is a complete suite. English speakers often think the "Doc" stands for doctor but it actually comes from the docs in which ships receive maintenance.
