Great (and funny) as always -- although #1 could blow up poor Dan right there, don't you think? ;-P

And, given our mutual conditions, wouldn't #14 with Nick be the toughest of all?

How about, "Take her out on a date, Nate"
and "Don't hog the remote, you old goat"
"Take her along to bowl, Joel (If she WANTS to go, Moe)
"Let her pick the flick, Nick
"Stay away from her journal, Colonel"
"Put gas in her tank, Hank
"Bring flowers for no reason, heathen"
"Hit the bowl, not the floor, boor
"Remember to flush, Rush"
"comfort her if she's crtin', Ryan
I could go on and om! Now SEE what you've started, Therese?

By the way, dear friend, you ARE smart. You don't have to use fancy words to prove it REGARDLESS of that naughty priest from your past! Iliterally CRINGED when you shared that moment...Thank GOD he at least had the sensitivity to take you out into the hallway instead of shaming you in front of your peers. As an educator, I find the use oghumiliation to be among the WORST abuses of my profession
