Proposals

Today at lunch we were talking about proms.  That lead us to proposals to go to prom which are now known as promposals.  One coworker's daughter was invited to prom by a huge banner held aloft by the ladder on a local fire truck.  One coworker felt that the elaborate proposals to go to prom will lead to higher expectations for marriage proposals.  We talked about marriage proposals.  One woman at the table told her future husband that they were getting married.  That marriage is still on.  Another woman at the table was asked for her hand in marriage but responded by saying, "Let me see the ring first."  That marriage is still on.  Another woman at the table said, "You're kidding, right?"  That marriage is still on.  An older man is at the table and he isn't saying much. He is quietly munching on his sandwich and staying out of the conversation.  So I ask him, "How did your proposal go?"  He swallows his sandwich and says, "I just knelt down to tie my shoe. It was untied.  I was totally innocent but she said 'Yes' and now we've been married for 53 years."  His story was voted the best.
