At a country-club party, a young man was
introduced to an attractive girl. Immediately he began
paying her court and flattering her outrageously. The
girl liked the young man, but she was taken a bit aback
by his fast and ardent pitch. She was amazed when after
30 minutes he seriously proposed marriage.
“Look,” she said. “We only met a half hour ago.
How can you be so sure? We know nothing about each
other.”
“You’re soooo wrong,” the young man declared.
“For the past 5 years I’ve been working in the bank
where your father has his account.”
