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 did
have a brother, do you think he would like
potato pancakes"?
