After a long search, a match-maker finally found a marriageable girl for a not-very-bright young man. The day the young man was to meet this girl, his father took him aside and gave him some advice.

 

"Son," he said," you may find yourself nervous and tongue-tied at first, but there are three subjects that you can always depend on. The first is "family", the second is "food" and the final one is a bit of "philosophy."

 

When the young man and the girl were left alone together, it was just as his father described. He was trembling and didn't know what to say. But then he remembered the advice.

 

"Family. Yes, family. That's it," he thought to himself. He addressed the girl.

 

"Do you have a brother?" he asked.

 

"No," she said.

 

Silence.

 

He racked his brain. After several minutes, and with great relief, he remembered the second subject.

 

"Do you like noodles?" he blurted.

 

"Yes," the girl said.

 

More time passed. The young man was growing desperate. The girl was looking bored.

 

"Oh, oh, oh," the young man thought. "What was the third thing? What... Oh, yes! Philosophy!"

 

"If you had a brother," he asked triumphantly, "would he like noodles?"

 

 

 

 

Even after all these years these people probably still love each other very much. And just think... they probably still have sex together on a regular basis.   :good3:  [we need a fist bump emoticon!]
