I'm not kidding.

I fully intend to use this. I got it from a friend who said he had his attorney draft it. Looks official enough to me.

Thank you for your interest, and it had better be genuine and non-sexual. Please allow four to six years for processing.You will be contacted in writing if you are approved. Please do not try to call or write. If your application is rejected, you will be notified in person by two large gentlemen wearing ski masks and driving a non-descript van.

In the unlikely event your application is accepted please study the following to prepare for your date.

Daddy's Rules for Dating

Rule One:If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're 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 so 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 ten 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, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:It is usually understood that 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 on this subject 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 make her 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 than can take longer than painting the Golden 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 anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided; movies which feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, 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 near Saigon. 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 the 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, and then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

Your poor, poor daughter.

What do you mean?

Blonde Goddess said...

HAHAHAHA! I printed this off for Mr.Man to read. He will agree wholeheartedly with you. I think it's FREAKIN HILARIOUS but I'd never actually use it.

You're not really going to use it, are you?

Jorge said...

BG-

The title of the post is "I'm not kidding".

What's the problem?

Kathleen said...

What do I mean??? You can't be serious. ;-) You try that and she'll be sneaking out to meet boys.

It looks pretty scary, but I'm pretty sure I had to sign one of those in my own blood when I was dating, and it all worked out . . . we ended up getting married.

10 years later, we're still happily married.

Jorge said...

There's no way she'll sneak out.

Remember the all knowing, merciless god of your universe bit? That's dead on.

I have no problem chaining her to a wall in the basement if I think it's necessary.

Beides, it worked out for Ben.

OK, now that you're all worried, yes I'm kidding.

I'm filin' that application away.
I have twin 8-yr old girls (and they will be man magnets let me tell ya') and they're pretty firm on wanting to live with mom and dad forever and never get married. I'm going to hang onto that for a while. :-)

Kathleen said...

I never snuck out either, but then again I was never asked out, so it was a moot point.

Being a daughter, I just ask one thing of you (although I think this is completely unnecessary, because I have faith that you do), love your daughter completely and unconditionally and never ever make her feel as if nothing she does is good enough for you.
