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?"
