Sir Nuke said:
For any FATHERS out there that have daughters....I currently have a "RULES to date my daughter" list.....

RULE ONE:
If you pull into the driveway and honk, you BETTER be delivering a package, because you are sure not picking anything up.

RULE TWO:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. IF you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

RULE THREE:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers to loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants 10 sizes too big, and I will not object, HOWEVER, in order to ensure that your clothes do NOT, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

RULE FOUR:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate. When it comes to sex and my daughter, I am the barrier, and I will KILL YOU.

RULE FIVE:
In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you in this is "EARLY".

RULE SIX:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter, Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you maker cry, I will make YOU cry.

RULE SEVEN:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Gloden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

RULE EIGHT:
The following places are NOT appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anthing softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places wher the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, nidriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose-down parka zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or seaxual theme are to be avoided; moview which feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folds homes are better.

RULE NINE:
Do not LIE to me. I may appear to be middle-aged dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god ofyour universe! IF I ask you where you are going and whth whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a pistol, a shovel, and five acres behind the house.....DO NOT TRIFLE WITH ME.

RULE TEN:

BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway, you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car--there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at th window is MINE!

tip for you............ cherish them every second.... time goes bye way too fast
