Chad nervously approached his girlfriends father and said Excuse me, Mr. Scott, but there was something I wanted to ask you.

Well, of course, young man! the proud father replied. You have my full blessing. My daughters happiness is all I want.



Blessing, sir? Chad stammered.



Yes, of course. You want to marry my daughter, right? Mr. Scott said.



Uh, no sir, thats not it. said Chad. Actually, my car payment is due, and Im a little short until payday, and I wanted to know if I could borrow fifty dollars until Friday.



Heck no! yelled Mr. Scott. I hardly know you.
