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 . Icecream 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 the girl the following question:"If you had a brother,would he like potato pancakes?"
男 孩
一個男孩要去赴他的第一次約會,他很緊張,不知道到時候該說什麼。他向父親征求意見。父親回答:“我的孩子,通常有三個話題可談,那就是吃的,家庭和哲學。”
男孩于是去接了女友,他們去了一家冷飲店。他們面前放了冰激淩汽水,然後兩個人面面相觑了好長時間,男孩的緊張情緒更加重了。他想起父親的建議,選擇了第一個話題。
他問那個女孩:“你喜歡烤洋芋薄餅嗎?”她說:“不。”他們又陷入了沉默。
又過了尴尬的幾分鐘,男孩想到父親的建議,轉向第二個話題。他問:你有兄弟嗎?”那女孩又說:“沒有。”然後又是沉默。
這個男孩隻好亮出最後一着。他想着父親的建議,問了女孩這個問題:“要是你有個兄弟的話,他會喜歡烤洋芋薄餅嗎?
