My Father Would Have Been Relieved

Hey, Suburban Blight has lead me to another quiz: Flooble Gay Quiz.

My father would have been happy if I could only have shown him the results:

    flooble said that I am
    Not Gay
    (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
    Take the flooble
    Gay
    Quiz

You see, when I was in college, I was not very good at catching the women I chased. As a result, I experienced a lot of Romantic sonneteer mooning over the various perfect inattainable women, but very few dates. One Sunday, though, I arranged a date with a young lady (less than perfect, but it was a real date). I usually borrowed my father’s car on Sunday nights to go out with some of my buddies, but the Sunday of the date, he found me washing the car, cleaning the windows, and whatnot.

“What, are you going on a date?” he asked.

“Yeah,” I said, scrubbing Golden Retriever nose prints from the windshield.

His voice lowered. “With a girl?” he asked.
