First date
A boy is about to go on his first date, and is nervous about
what to talk about. He asks his father for advice.
The father replies: "My son, there are three subjects that
always work. These are food, family, and philosophy."
The boy picks up his date and they go to a soda fountain.
Ice cream sodas in front of them, they stare at each other
for a long time, as the boy's nervousness builds, he
remembers his father's advice, and chooses the first topic.
He asks the girl: "Do you like potato pancakes?"
She says "No," and the silence returns.
After a few more uncomfortable minutes, the boy thinks of
his father's suggestion and turns to the second item on the
list.
He asks, "Do you have a brother?"
Again, the girl says "No" and there is silence once again.
The boy then plays his last card. He thinks of his father's
advice and asks: "If you had a brother, would he like
potato pancakes?"
