There once was a farmer who has three daughters, all going out on their first date at the same time. The farmer being protective of his daughters decided to meet their suitors at the front door with a shotgun, the door bell rang and the father answered the door and the lad said: "hi, my name is Joe, I'm here for Flo, we're going to the show, is she ready to go?". The father looked him over and sent the kids on their way. The next lad arrives, "my name's Eddie, I'm here for Betty, we're gonna get some spaghetty, is she ready?". Father felt this one was ok too, so off the two kids went... The final young man arrived and the farmer opened the door, the boy started off, "Hi my name's Chuck" and the farmer shot him!
